Jamie, 

After you turn on airplane mode, you will see that blue tooth is automatically turned off. However, you can turn Bluetooth back on then and still be in airplane mode. 

I have had no issues going through airport security with my Dexcom CGM and pump in terms of negative impacts on the devices. If I go through the regular security line I unhook my pump and send it in a bin through the scanner with the rest of my stuff, shoes, etc. 

On the other hand, when I hit the airport lottery and I get a TSA precheck indication on my boarding pass, this is the line where you don't have to take off your shoes, etc. then I just leave my pump attached. No issues in either case. 

It is always a good idea to check your D-devices after going through airport security though, just to make sure.
