Keke Palmer speaks out against breast milk discrimination at airport.

Actress and singer Keke Palmer has spoken out about the difficulties of being a nursing mother trying to maneuver airport security, claiming "breast milk discrimination" after facing problems with security at a Houston airport. TSA guidelines state that formula, breast milk, toddler drinks, and baby/toddler food in quantities greater than 3.4 ounces or 100 milliliters are allowed in carry-on baggage and do not need to fit within a quart-sized bag. Other nursing mothers shared comments of support and their own difficulties working with the Transportation Security Administration.

Keke Palmer speaks out against 'breast milk discrimination' at airport.

Actress Keke Palmer tweeted about her experience with "breast milk discrimination" at a Houston airport, where she was threatened with having to throw out over 16oz of her baby's food. The TSA allows breast milk in carry-on baggage in quantities greater than 3.4 ounces or 100 milliliters, but anything in excess must be screened separately. Palmer's followers commiserated with her plight, with some sharing their own experiences of feeling "violated and embarrassed" at airports. Palmer welcomed her son, Leodis, in February and shares him with boyfriend Darius Jackson.
