Given the attitude of TSO's around here, and advise to remove medical devices, you would be smart to drive or take another mode of transport.

You never know what the f*** will happen at any given checkpoint. For God's sake, don't carry any sequentially numbered checks!

I also wear a continuous glucose sensor which may not go through Xray either and must stay within 5 feet of my pump.
Another reason to avoid TSA like the plague. At Heathrow at least they are well trained, and people I have spoken to have said that they accommodate medical devices professionally and discreetly. The TSA, not so much.... kinda like getting an incorrect order at Burger King!
