Thanks everyone for your well wishes and suggestions. I'm hopeful that this will be a non issue. The nurse said no to the clear bandage - there is already one over the actual entry point and they don't want anything else stuck there.

I bought a tensor-like bandage to wrap everything up and keep the outside portion of the line from flopping around - I'm hopeful that, and a long sleeve shirt will be enough to keep their hands off. If they start getting pushy, I'll threaten to call a cop and the GSC over right away and perhaps that will shut them up.
