One of my main concerns (Of course aside from singling out human milk as
somehow "poisonous") is the Civil Liberty aspect of such "monitoring."

The US Constitution (and constitutions and amendments in many other
countries) make it illegal to make a "seach and seizure of property without
a warrent and just cause."

Are warrents issued and just cause proven, before a judge, before women are
having their milk "biomonitored." I haven't heard this to be so.

There is so much that bothers me about this, (as bad as random urine
testing, but with ONLY breastfeeding mothers as the victims) that I am
almost at a loss for words.

I am sure others care about these liberties, as well as the other scary,
Big Brother aspects of such testing.
