What if I Have Problems with TSA While Traveling?
If you have an immediate problem while being screened, you should ask for a supervisor. If the supervisor is not able to resolve the situation, you should ask for the TSA’s Customer Service Manager for that airport. You can also call the TSA Contact Center at 1-866-289-9673.
Need to Know Before You Go T1D Travel Advice!
TSA tries to have a Passenger Support Specialist available during all screening checkpoint operating hours. If a traveler believes he or she may need to request the assistance of a PSS, he or she is encouraged to arrive at the airport early and immediately ask an officer or a supervisor for a PSS.
What Can I Bring Through Security Checkpoints?
TSA specifically states that diabetes-related supplies, equipment and medications, including liquids, are allowed through the checkpoint once they have been properly screened by X-ray or hand inspection. Passengers should declare these items and separate them from other belongings before screening begins.
