2003 - 2009 seemed exceptionally wild west for the TSA in my anecdotal experience. I had the TSA damage medical equipment (insulin pumps and glucose meters) more than once over the years by not complying with policies, and ignoring information given to them in real time. I can't imagine how much worse it was for people being threatened right after procedures. At least my worst fears were "Okey my bg was x, I have y spare supplies, So I have 6 hours to get to a pharmacy or hospital, unless I annoy them and they hold me, then I could die."
Vs having a procedure from an unvetted doctor in an airport...
- grapescheesee 4y agoThey are still damaging/destroying insulin pumps. I had a coworker who was recently stopped ay security. His pump failed to pass at the swab. To pass through security they required the pump pass through the xray scanner. Refusing to retest the swab, and disregarding the damage which could occur. Either causation or coincidence, it broke shortly after.
