She said they changed the rules in August. It has to be taken out
of whatever you have it in and placed in it's own bin so they can
"wand" it and examine it -I think they should have a sign for this
just as they do the laptops ("take your laptop out of it's case for
inspection" is the sign I've seen :-) It just irritated me because I
was in line going through the metal detector and she's yelling at
me about the machine being taken out of the carry on LOL (This
wasn't Sea-Tac, it was the airport in San Diego....

I do know one thing, that if I fly internationally again..I'm leaving
it home and taking only a small backpack LOL OR I could buy
one of the smaller CPAP machines just for travel. If I take the
carry-on suitcase, small backpack AND the CPAP in it's case, I
would need 5 hands LOL
