The new security measures at airports with regard to the transport of liquids have reached the height.
A few days ago a mother was forced to get rid of two bottles of breast milk at the Las Vegas airport "for security reasons."
Which is the reason? They will ask. Well, the woman was carrying two bottles of baby milk but there was no baby.
Indeed, it turns out that the mother had made a business trip for the day and was returning home with food for her baby, divided into two bottles to meet the safety standards of not exceeding 100 ml of liquids in the luggage hand.
As many working mothers do, he had taken the pump with him to pump milk throughout the day.
But not traveling with her baby but with the milk raised the suspicions of security guards that forced her to get rid of the "potentially dangerous" liquid.
As they argued (erroneously), to travel with baby food you have to travel with the baby. Although the new measures to transport baby food in hand luggage are applicable regardless of whether the baby travels or not.
After the incident, the woman was informed, claimed and the airport security has apologized.
Enough with that we are made to test the baby's pots in the security posts to certify that it is carrot puree and not explosives.
Is this how mothers who breastfeed their children are treated in the first world?
I understand the concern for safety, but not the ridiculous obsession.
