Alyssa Milano Is Tweeting Her Frustration After Airport Confiscates Her Breast Milk
Alyssa Milano had her breast milk confiscated while going through security at Heathrow Airport in London, England earlier in the day and she has taken to her Twitter to tell the world that this is not okay!
“Pumping on a plane is difficult. Small FYI.” the 42-year-old actress wrote on her Twitter account. Hours later, she updated a series of tweets directed at the airport.
“(1 of 2) @HeathrowAirport just took my pumped breast milk away. 10 ounces. Gone. Not okay.” Alyssa wrote. “(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????”

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.
