I have forwarded both these breast milk passage stories on to Elizabeth
Boepple, JD who is Emily Gillette's attorney. A Freedom flight attendant
threw her off a Burlington VT flight for breastfeeding her 22 month old.
She's been compiling breastfeeding rights incidents.
This newest tactic is TSA terrorizing passengers and flight crew, including
breastfeeding/pumping mothers. The gist of this is the flying public will
settle for biometric iris scanning and a National ID Card in order not to be
treated like dirt or a terrorist themselves. 4th Amendment lawsuits have
been filed by pilots Michael Roberts & Ann Poe by www.Rutherford.org
<http://www.rutherford.org/> and a man in Little Rock AR, Robert Dean
has filed a lawsuit.
TSA has forced pregnant women through the full body scan, much less
irradiating breastmilk.

The screeners eventually bullied "Mary" into going through the machine.
Veronica Garea, Phd physicist on Lactnet, has commented to me on this-it
should never happen.
Mr. Pistole wants to take this to the next level or all common carriers to
get the national ID implemented.

Will anyone be able to take their expressed breastmilk on the bus or subway
next?
Judy Ritchie, a former flight attendant from the previous skyjacking years
when security was not "theater."
This is a "power trip" on the part of screeners, pure and simple. Read

Any woman who has nursed or pumped will tell you the milk is liquid gold.
It's not a cutesy term; it's an understatement. So you can imagine the way
my heart sunk as I had to leave several servings of liquid gold with a
security agent tonight at London's Heathrow airport.
I had checked ahead: by all accounts, I could carry expressed milk on board
internationally just as I often do domestically, even when traveling without
a baby. Those accounts were wrong.
The security manager could not have been more kind, but my son wasn't with
me, so the milk couldn't travel, either. Handing those precious bags over
was one of the hardest things I've ever done.
"They took my milk," I weakly told my husband, defeat in my voice, tears
silently streaming. I knew it wasn't personal. I knew they could have been
far less understanding. And I knew there was nothing I could do.
Her domestic flight:
His [TSA] colleagues eventually let me through. One even told him to relax.
He made a point to avoid my gaze as I entered the building, pump slung over
my shoulder, liquid gold safe in its cooler.
