Insulin Pumps and Security

I travel frequently and have Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes. Last week I moved from injections to the insulin pump. The pump itself looks like a small BB, but has a plastic tube that connects to a cathater that is inserted into my stomach (not painful at all.)

I'd be interested in hearing about anyone's experiences traveling with an insulin pump, especially as it relates to security. I really don't want to have to disconnect when I get to security, so I assume I am in line for numerous detailed searches by TSA agents.
