the pump and airport security

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Yesterday there was a blurb on national news about a young girl who went

through the body scanning machine at an airport and it disabled and ruined

her insulin pump.

Anyone have any knowledge about this sort of thing?

I have been through a number of airports and their scanning systems and have

never had any problem with either of my pumps.

Wow! I hope she isn't damaged in any way. It is hard enough without things

like that going wrong. I sure hope they get her a new pump.

Hi ,

Yes, someone did replace her pump.

The reason I posted this was to find out if such a thing could actually be

true.

Ye Gads, it is fast becoming way too much hassle to fly these days.

Gone are the days when flying was genuinely a pleasure. Good food,

comfortable seating and courteous help.

With some of the regional planes you had blamed well better be really good

friends with the person sitting next (really next) to you. (LOLLOLLOL)

Hi Pat,

I suspect that this was one of the newer body scanners as she did not want a

pat down.

The story was a bit brief and I have not seen anything more on it.

Makes me sorta thing they might just want to hush the story?

Oh surely not! (LOLLOLLOL)

I only flew twice in 1973 when I went to the Seeing Eye to get Peace and

when I came home with her.
