Due to traveling next week, I decided to look online at the new security
regulations and it is different from our local paper, as it has been
updated.  I suggest traveling moms print this section the day they travel
and carry it with them, as TSA people are not uniformly re-trained at first
and treatment of passengers is different from airport to airport.  It may
change again by the time of their next flight.  No extraneous fluids may be
taken on board, though solid carry on foods are not restricted except for
jello, pudding & yogurt--typically kid friendly food.
Southwest told me specifically no fruit cups either, such as liquid
containing fruit cocktail & apple sauce.  

It still seems moms traveling alone have to check their pumped milk inside
their luggage--hoping their suitcase does not get lost. I wonder if there is
some way to label her suitcase or expedite it like medical shipments.

The TSA, however, recommends that women not wear underwire bras because they
can set off the metal detectors, though some travelers say they wear them
and they don't set off the detector every time.
