Just a heads up - a few weeks ago we were flying out of MSP and my DH's bag with the CPAP inside got flagged to be screened separately, which has happened a few times, but mostly it has just gone through. The TSA agent then told us that there has been a recent change and that CPAPs should never go through without being flagged at this point, unless we take them out of the bag (like a laptop) and run it through in one of the bins, which we can do, of course. We just didn't know! Has anyone else experienced this in the last month?
I thought some of you other CPAP bearing air travelers might appreciate the forewarning and the opportunity to expedite your trip through security.
I travel quite a bit with my job (anywhere from 1 to 3 times a week) - for the past several months, TSA has been pulling my CPAP out to check it. This has been happening at both large and small airports. It wasn't as frequent a happening prior to that.
