regular” carry-on stuff is not exempt, and force me to check that?
that even if security screeners at most airports allow the exemption, I will encounter someone who does not allow it, who will force me to check one bag, or else deny me boarding. If I then checked the CPAP or BiPAP and humidifier, that I had put in its’ own carry-on bag, it would probably get smashed. And I wouldn’t want to check the other bag that has what I need to survive diabetes, allergies, and boredom. The other alternative, of putting up a fuss, would probably mean missing the flight.
