The Threat of Breast Milk in the Air

Familiarizing myself with the Transportation Security Administration online air travel rules and regulations on January 14, 2007 was a new and rather eye-opening experience for me. Listed under the permitted and prohibited items for airline travel, my fellow Americans, you will find the following items:

Permitted in checked bags.......in carry-on bags

Whipped Cream........................Whipped Cream
Billy Clubs..........................Prohibited
Brass Knuckles.......................Prohibited
Jell-O...............................Limited to 3 ounces

Saws (including cordless portable power saws)...Prohibited
Parts of guns and firearms...........Prohibited

Concerned about breast milk affecting your national security in the air???

FYI


Breast milk is permitted in checked baggage.

Breast milk is allowed in a carry-on bag only if the passenger in possession of the breast milk is traveling with an infant or toddler.

Warning to all potential terrorists-

According to the Transportation and Security Administration’s Web site, breast milk will be inspected at airport security checkpoints.
