UK Prime Minister, Theresa May has issued a letter from 10 Downing Street in support of our campaign. The letter outlines the action that is being taken in the UK by the Civil Aviation Authority and the Department for Transport so that airport security officers recognise that insulin pumps and CGM’s are medical devices that should NOT go through x-ray machines or full-body airport scanners and should be subject to alternative security screening (for example via a wand inspection to test for traces of explosives) and that failure to do so could swiftly cause medical consequences.

And, if the device is disconnected, an individual may request that it not be subjected to X-ray screening and alternative screening protocols will apply.” “A refresher briefing on screening insulin pumps and glucose monitors will be issued to the workforce during the week of July 30. The training and educational materials emphasize listening to the traveler, explaining the screening options to the traveler, and respecting a traveler’s selection for screening (e.g., pat-down in lieu of screening by technology).” Read in full: https://www.ufofreight.com/uploads/tsa-31-july-2018_1533168175.pdf These are great developments for our campaign but please continue to sign and share this petition so that my dialogue with relevant airports and associations helps to achieve my ultimate goal of all insulin pump users having a STRESS FREE and SAFE experience at airport security all around the world.
