A friend of mine passed on a great tip she heard for moms traveling  
with expressed milk - use frozen peas to keep it cold. That way you're  
not traveling with anything that becomes liquid as it thaws, but it  
does keep milk cool.
I had a chat with our local TSA supervisor who recommended calling the  
TSA manager at the airport before traveling to get the most up-to-date  
information on their individual screening procedures (rather than  
calling the airlines, who tend not to be as informed). He recommended  
checking expressed milk from the trip in a cooler with dry ice, then  
if pumping is necessary en route, pump after entering security (with  
aforementioned frozen peas to keep it cool).

If anyone has more up-to-date information on this, please email me  
off-list, as I'm currently updating my website with this information.
