AceShowbiz - Mother of two Alyssa Milano has taken it to Twitter to express her disappointment over Heathrow Airport for confiscating her breast milk. In a series of tweets on Thursday, April 9 she detailed the incident when she had her breast milk confiscated while going through security and slammed the international London, England airport.
"@HeathrowAirport just took my pumped breast milk away. 10 ounces. Gone. Not okay," so the 42-year-old actress wrote. "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????"

She continued tweeting, "I was told I would be fine if the baby was with me. Plus, it was less than 5 ounces per container. Why is my shampoo okay?"

Instead, milk was taken away with no discussion. Shampoo, lotions, etcetera were simply tested and handed back with no issue. Makes no sense at all." And in response to Milano's complaints via Twitter, Heathrow Airport responded, "Hi Alyssa. Unfortunately, without a baby present, the government requires all liquids in carry-ons to follow the 100ml rule."
@Alyssa_Milano Hi Alyssa. Unfortunately, without a baby present, the government requires all liquids in carry-ons to follow the 100ml rule.
