We are still receiving messages from insulin pump users (all over the world) who have had poor experiences at airport security. Therefore I have put together a PDF for you to take when travelling which I hope will help to clarify the situation and alleviate stress. http://ufofreight.com/uploads/travel-documents_1483782052.pdf We advise that passengers show airport security personnel this document along with medical confirmation from their practitioner so that screening may be undertaken accordingly. As a direct result of our campaign, Airports Council International (ACI) published a full-page article called “Best practice for screening of insulin pumps” in their December 2016 issue of World Report. The Report is sent to their 592 members operating 1,853 airports in 173 countries. See page 2 of the PDF. NEXT STEP IN OUR CAMPAIGN ACI World have informed us that they will be presenting the issue in May 2017 to the ICAO Aviation Security Panel, a UN specialized agency, requesting that it is highlighted to regulators and included in guidance material. ICAO works with the Convention’s 191 Member States so this is a big step forward for our campaign.
