When Alyssa Milano went through London Heathrow Airport security she came out with ten ounces less of breast milk. Security confiscated the source of nutrition for seven-month-old daughter because said baby wasn't actually with her at the time. This sparked the actress to hit Twitter to voice her displeasure.
(1 of 2) @HeathrowAirport just took my pumped breast milk away. 10 ounces. Gone. Not okay.

(2 of 2) They said they would let the pumped milk through if I had the baby with me. Why would I need to pump if I had the baby with me????

.@HeathrowAirport Why can you test my toiletries to make sure they are safe but you have to throw away my breast milk?

PS. Another reason it makes no sense - when I got past security it was time to pump again so... I did carry on 5 ounces of breast milk.

@Alyssa_Milano Hi Alyssa. Unfortunately, without a baby present, the government requires all liquids in carry-ons to follow the 100ml rule.

@Alyssa_Milano Sorry for any confusion caused. To confirm, if you aren't travelling with your baby, milk is subject to the 100ml/(3.4oz) 1/2
