Regarding traveling with assorted medical devices; advice from a local TSA Supervisor: 'If you're flagged for *anything*, politely ask for a Supervisor. There MUST be one on duty in every service area at all times. Agents are supposed to be able to identify common medical devices; CPAP, TENS, Neurostimulators, electronic testing devices - glucose or otherwise... If in doubt, 99% of the time the Supervisor can keep little things from becoming Big Things.'
I'm pretty sure breast pump would/should fall into this category. (Current TSA rules as of 7MAR12 from tsa.gov; http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/children/formula.shtm)
