Then I showed them my paper from my pump provider saying it's legit, and they were fine with it. <br />Fast forward 4-5 years, I've been there 4 times in the past two years, and I don't even tell them I have a pump, it just doesn't beep and I don't get any pat down! doccindemenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-64202525481465512902016-04-05T21:55:19.961-04:002016-04-05T21:55:19.961-04:00I got the "explosives detected" result w...I got the "explosives detected" result when I went through TSA on Sunday in Rhode Island. Thanks to my TSA Pre Check status, I got a "modified" inspection, which meant that they did everything you described in your previous post. They just did it in the middle of the security area instead of a little room. They had every item in my carry on spread out on a table for everyone to see. I also got the full-body "pat down" with a hundred witnesses. I don't know which scenario is worse, but I know that it was one of the most humiliating experiences ever. All because their machine falsely detected explosives on my hands.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05587162228160651327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-40494136412413830772016-04-05T20:04:22.546-04:002016-04-05T20:04:22.546-04:00Just glad you didn't get the whole pat down. Y...Just glad you didn't get the whole pat down. Your story from a couple of years ago is still one of the worse TSA stories for Type 1's that I know. I flunked the hand swab recently by carelessly using hand lotion when I got dressed that morning. Two female agents and me in a back room patting me down and swabbing everything in my suitcase, backpack, and purse. They were nice, but talk about a total waste of resources. I usually get PreChek but didn't that day.<br /><br />Glad you are safely home and didn't get molested physically. I would argue that your privacy was violated, but small stuff in this day and age.Laddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212090322026085867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-24345302511124179892016-04-05T19:54:28.975-04:002016-04-05T19:54:28.975-04:00So I also always ask for a pat down and nto to put...So I also always ask for a pat down and nto to put my pump into the scanner. Last time I flew the pat down got done, but the angry agent put my pump into the scanner. I was so angry. I called TSA when I got home and filed a complaint. Grrr.<br /><br />I referred your your blog to the TUDiabetes blog page for the week of April 4, 2016.<br /><br /> Rick Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06927227605885917738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-4750386481552133662016-04-05T17:59:53.720-04:002016-04-05T17:59:53.720-04:00So - I've always done the patting -
