Does the FreeStyle Libre 14 day sensor require any special handling at the airport?

Some airport full-body scanners include x-ray or millimeter radio-wave, which you cannot expose your system to. The effect of these scanners has not been evaluated and the exposure may damage the system or cause inaccurate results. To avoid removing your system, you may request another type of screening. If you do choose to go through a full-body scanner, you must remove your sensor. The system can be exposed to common electrostatic (ESD) and electromagnetic interference (EMI), including airport metal detectors. You can keep your reader on while going through these. You can safely use your system at all times while on an aircraft.
