i've noticed that every airport is different. it used to be in minneapolis they would have me go through the employee entrance and i'd get the pat down. now, i just go through normally but stop at the metal detectors. they see this all the time, all you have to do is show them the id card and they know what to do. it's pretty routine for them, just not for us.

as far as charging goes, i also wear baggy clothes and can wear my charger w/o any wires hanging out. i normally don't have to charge in public though. easier in the winter than summer i'd imagine. i just got my rechargeable stim in oct. previously, i had the non chargeable - much less hassle (if you don't mind a surgery ever couple years).
