Security scare at LAX after TSA agents confuse woman’s insulin pump for gun

These are the “officers” that Janet Napolitano is so proud of.


A diabetic woman caused a security scare at Los Angeles International Airport after TSA agents mistook her insulin pump for a weapon.

The woman, who was not identified, was going through a security checkpoint on Friday morning when a body scanner detected the device on her waist.

Sources told the Los Angeles Times that the agents saw what looked to them like a gun, but she had walked off before she could be searched.

TSA agents called in LAX police and the LAPD to investigate a possible threat.

The woman was reportedly detained and questioned after authorities determined the device was not a threat.

The incident caused delays of about an hour for passengers boarding flights.
