A week or so ago, I heard a report on the radio (NPR, I believe) about how
the "no icepacks" was affecting business for a company that ships lobsters.
I believe their ingenious solution was to pack them in frozen vegetables.
Apparently bags of veggies pass inspection. Reminded me of telling moms to
grab a bag of frozen peas if they need to apply cold to their breasts.
Perhaps it would work to ship/carry pumped milk on the planes.
