Two of my friends are type 1's with pumps. One was told here at CMH that he HAD to disconnect the pump so that it could be x-rayed. He had to open it up so they could look at the insulin (in case he had a pump of subcutaneous Semtex?)

My other friend was just subject to lengthy frisking at CMH, which he described as "unreasonable." As he pointed out, the bulky item was the pump. There was no reason for him to have to open his belt, be patted down elsewhere, etc.

I'm sure that the DHS imagines that terrorists are already scheming to pose as diabetics.
