I work in a secure facility and go through a metal detector every day. I have medical clearance for a Dexcom system, though I’m interested in adding Omnipod. Trouble is, if I set off the metal detector, it is not worth the hassle, because I can’t remove the Omnipod without wasting it (and being insulin free for a day), and I have to clear the scanner (even with a clearance). My Dexcom does not cause me trouble.

Tandem can be disconnected for a short period of time. I imagine that you must have a Dexcom reader or cellphone so I assume if you clear the screener with the device separated from you, you’re ok?
I work in a facility where strong magnets are in use and I just don’t go in those rooms. Luckily other people are willing to fill in the gaps.
I had my animas pump fail after going through a magnet detector at an airport. And since then I won’t go near them
