As you were kind enough to sign our petition, I wanted to give you an update. We understand that the requirements for airport security are set by national Governments but I have spoken with the Head of Aviation Health Unit at CAA Safety & Airspace Regulation Group who is forwarding our campaign to the CAA Aviation Security Department with the view to them discussing the issue with their colleagues in the Department for Transport as well as liaising with UK Airports. Whilst we are trying to achieve a level of international standardisation, we understand that this is challenging when the security policies are set at a national level. Therefore, I have also contacted ACI who serve 592 members operating 1,853 airports in 173 countries. Although ACI are unable to set policies for their member airports, we are hoping that they will raise the issue and encourage members to discuss this with the national security agencies. In other news, our petition continues to grow and has now received over 2300 signatures and in the last few days, we have gained support from JDRF and Diabetes UK. However, it is the comments received from fellow Type 1 Diabetics that reveal indisputable evidence that confusion regarding insulin pumps at airport security is prevalent and a global issue. The National Diabetes Insulin Pump Audit Report says that “An average of 12% of all children and adults in the UK with Type 1 Diabetes are using an insulin pump. In 2013 the statistic was just 7% so the number of users is rapidly increasing. In the USA, use of insulin pumps is even more widespread, with 40% of people with Type 1 having one. > So this dangerous airport security issue will only increase and needs addressing NOW. I am committed to this campaign and will continue until we have positive results and will post updates on our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/insulinpumpnoxray If you thought our experience was a one-off or you are lucky enough not to have had problems at security (yet), please read these comments http://ufofreight.com/uploads/comments_1465897881.pdf RACHEL HUMPHREY
