Flying with Epipens

Hi.

I've been a lurker and may have posted once or twice a few months back.  Anyway, I have a question I did some scrolling but I didn't see anything on this, so forgive me if I missed this.

We're going going to be flying soon with my dd, and this is our first time traveling with epi-pens. I've done some research but have seen conflicting information, when going through the security scanners do I have to have the Epi-pens hand checked or can they go through the x-ray machine with the rest of our stuff?

What have you done? Thanks!

    Thanks! Something I read had said to have them hand inspected because they don't know the effect of the xray machine on the epi itself.  So that got me wondering what others do in this situation.
