Imagine having your heart in a backpack and some dumb security guard wants to take away your backpack for inspection.

I would hardly leave the house wearing something like that.

No way imagine snagging the tube carrying blood into your body on some door handle and having it ripped out spilling blood everywhere.

The tubes on modern devices carry air; the implanted pumps are pneumatically driven.

The psychological burden must be immense.

My greatest fear would be damaging the backpack or the cables.
