New law aims to end TSA confusion over parents traveling with breast milk

(InvestigateTV) — Emily Calandrelli, an author and former host of “Emily’s Wonder Lab” on Netflix, went viral in 2022 after writing on social media about an experience at a TSA security checkpoint. Calandrelli said she was on a work trip at the time, writing it was her “first time away from my 10-week-old son, who I’m currently breastfeeding,” and that she “brought my pump and two ice packs.”Calandrelli said two male TSA agents told her she could not bring the ice packs in a carry-on because they were not frozen solid. She said when she asked to speak to a supervisor, she was asked, “Well, where is the baby?” The supervisor then said if her child was with her, “it wouldn’t be an issue,” according to Calandrelli. She said she was ultimately escorted from the security line and forced to check her ice packs.“It shouldn’t be nearly impossible to travel if you’re a mom or are breastfeeding your child,” Calandrelli said in an Instagram video.What TSA policy saysTSA policy, in place since 201
