I did complain and the response was and I quote:
" in light of recent events, we do not feel that our actions were inappropriate." We therefore find no reason for us to apologise as the interests and safety of the USA and its citizens are number one priority"
As a doc and a longstanding diabetic, I did it, knowing what I needed to do to be safe. However, for the majority it would be highly dangerous and not a recommended course of action.

you might as well whinge to a Policeman about the fact he's booking you for speeding. It is not under his discretion
This is one of the things that makes traffic cops far, far better than speed cameras - discretion

I havnt posted on PPrune for a long time but I felt that this was response worthy. I was first diagonised with Type 1 diabetes last November. I spent almost 2 weeks in hospital. It took me a long time to come to terms with sticking myself with a needle everyday for the rest of my life. So when the day came for me to start injecting myself, I 'stabbed' myself twice and bent the 6mm needle before I could puncture the skin!! So anything more than gentle nick and the needle is useless!
Its just noteworthy for the terrorists!!
