Re: Pat downs because of CPAP machines

I just traveled from ny to chicago and had no problems with my cpap..my first time traveling with it. I'd put up with the hassle before I'd check it as baggage. I did ask the tsa to put new gloves on before touching my machine, he seemed annoyed, but who gives a s***!!
