But small containers of any kind of liquid are right out.

Especially a bottle with breast milk that is being actively consumed by a baby (I still can't believe I saw this happen).

  i've asked before about my sealed bottle of water, if i open and drink half of it in front of the agent, can i take the other half aboard? no, of course not.

    Every time I'm not allowed to take on my clear, sealed water bottle, I drink it right in front of them in one large sip and walk through with an empty water bottle. Then, I find a drinking fountain on the other side of security and refill it, preferably within eyesight. I know they supposedly don't care, but more people need to flaunt the ridiculousness of the rules so the large bulk of travelers feel less alone in criticizing the TSA.

  And they let us carry bottles of water and liquid Tylenol through about a month ago

  Breast milk is expressly allowed. I have personally taken breast milk through the airport with my children by myself (I'm a man) and they didn't bat at eye at me. Supposedly you can take it through without the child too, which makes sense for traveling, pumping mothers. Sometime they will test it, which involves holding a small trip of paper above the open container. I think that happened only once to me. They are pretty lax most times if you have children along. You can take water through with kids (or at least I have several times), and they have always skipped any of the extra screening and scanning when I'm with my kids. We just walk right through the metal detector.

    Breast milk is expressly allowed. I see what you did there. The TSA isn't exactly known for applying its rules (or anyone else's rules for that matter) consistently and accurately.

      At least we've narrowed it down from a policy problem to a people problem. But you are right the inconsistency is really frustrating.

    they have always skipped any of the extra screening and scanning when I'm with my kids I, on the other hand, made the mistake of putting my toddler daughter in a party dress with a fluffy skirt which a TSA agent had to pat down to make sure there wasn't anything hiding in there. We weren't treated aggressively or anything like that. But the whole thing felt ridiculous. Air travel is no party. We all fly in pants now.

Insulin is not, my mom has flown with her pump and extra insulin. They even let the syringes go with it. Just has to have proper labeling, not like an industrious terrorist/loon would ever know to fake that.
