Travel picks up

I haven't take a business trip since early 2008. Over the past 4 weeks I have taken 3 business trips. This have give me several opportunities to see how the OmniPod does with the security screening.

The standard metal detectors do not set of the alarms. Over five times I have walked through the metal detectors. Zero alarms went off. I did go through one detector and I was asked to step into the scanner tube.

The scanner tube was a new process. I was asked to face to the right, with my feet on the green foot prints. Raise my arms and then stand still. A few clicks and buzzes, then I was asked to turn to the left with my feet on the red foot prints. I was asked to keep my arms down, and then there were a few more clicks and buzzes.

The TSA agent, said I was done and thanked me for cooperating. You're welcome I replied, thinking about what would happen if I didn't cooperate.

Not sure if they could tell I had the OmniPod on with this second procedure, but no questions were asked nor were any comments made. Usually, I get the question; eppi pen? When I carry my Humalog pen with me. My response is "Yes". No need to upset the TSA agent's mind set.

So, I am satisfied that the OmniPod will not raise questions or impede travel when going though the airport.
