I read in my paper today a small note about new regulations on airline
passengers carrying breastmilk, effective August 4, 2007 (and also new
rules about lighters). I found this from the Transportation Security
Administration website:

http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/sop/index.shtm

"TSA is also modifying the rules associated with carrying breast milk
through security checkpoints. Mothers flying with, and now without,
their child will be permitted to bring breast milk in quantities
greater than three ounces as long as it is declared for inspection at
the security checkpoint.

Breast milk is in the same category as liquid medications. Now, a
mother flying without her child will be able to bring breast milk
through the checkpoint, provided it is declared prior to screening."

Spread the news!
