    TSA Agents Confiscate Pregnant Woman's Insulin

    TSA Agents Confiscate Pregnant Woman's Insulin
    by AOL Travel StaffSubscribe



    TSA agents confiscated a pregnant woman's insulin at Denver International Airport, prompting her and her husband to file a formal complaint with the agency, reports ABC 7 News.

    The woman, who asked to remain nameless, was headed to Phoenix for her baby shower on Thursday when she was stopped by airport security.

    "He's like, 'Well, you're a risk.' I'm like, 'Excuse me?' And he's like, 'This is a risk ... I can't tell you why again. But this is at risk for explosives,'" she told ABC 7 – this despite the fact she had a doctor's note and had correctly labeled the medication.

    She was, however, able to get through security with a bottle of nail polish, hair spray bottles and syringes.

    Her husband, Aaron Nieman, talked to ABC 7 and said, "It made me feel upset and made me feel somewhat helpless."

    The unnamed woman has since arranged for additional insulin to be delivered to her in Arizona.

    The TSA would not comment on this specific case.

    According to the TSA website, passengers "may bring all prescription and over-the-counter medications (liquids, gels, and aerosols) including petroleum jelly, eye drops, and saline solution for medical purposes."

    There is no limit on the amount of these materials that may be carried on, but quantities over three ounces must be declared to a TSA official. Additionally, insulin is specifically listed on the website as being allowed through security.

    The TSA has been in hot water lately for its handling of passengers with medical concerns. In July, TSA agents soaked a man in his own urine – for the second time. And, in June, screeners forced a 95-year-old woman to remove her adult diaper.

    You all deserve this. I bitched bout TSA years ago, and I was dismissed. Now shit has gone from half retarded to full retarded.

    So, I hope TSA pisses on all of you.

    Not me, I'm no sadist. I am not voluntarily going to let those clowns humilate me. I'm choosing not to fly until they fix this shiite.

    Cause, that nonsense will get me into a lot of trouble just for trying to catch a plane.

    So much of it depends on what airport you are at as well...I log over 100k miles every year and I can tell you that there is a WORLD of difference b/t ORD to DIA to DCA to TIA....Chicago being the absolute worst, and Tucson being the best. Smaller town airports just seem to have a lot more common sense when screening. Foreign airports seem have the most common sense from my experience too...then again, they are VERY blatant about racial/national origin profiling.

    I've never had 1 problem with TSA, but I know how to process myself through w/o drawing any attn or tripping a xray/pat down. I''ve only been asked to go through xray once in my entire life.

    If you are asked to go through an xray, there is still a decent chance they will follow up with a pat down of they don't see what they are looking for....if you're comfortable with getting the pat down, you might as well just go straight to it and skip the xray.

    There should be some kind of an exception for cases like this.. Maybe have a designated spot in the pilots room or somewhere they can store it and only the flight attendants can access it incase of an emergency then return it to the passenger when the flight lands
