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.
- Lagged2Death 14y agoBreast 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.

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.
