Yeah, but what do expect TSA to do? Tell women they can't bring formula or breastmilk on board?
Time to crank up the profiling.
Luckily breast milk comes in 2 natural containers that can't be mixed with anything, unless the terrorists are going to have bombs in breast implants. TSA only allows single packs of formula which is a dry powder. I was not allowed to take it already mixed with water on the plane. I took the dry packets on the plane and mixed with water that I had brought. The thing that will change is that now a mother will only be allowed to mix her packets with water given to her by the flight attendant. The single packets can go through x-ray, etc as well as any bomb residue tests that may be on the outside of the packet.
Why not? If they have breastmilk, then it's stored in a very safe tamper-proof container. There's no reason to pump before the flight. If the kid is still on formula then request a special bottle from the airlines. If folks can get special dietary meals then why not formula. I suppose bringing the dry mix and asking for a glass of water would be too much for some folks? Better yet, don't fly with infants.
