Alyssa Milano, Not Without My Baby Milk

Fucking Brits confiscated Milano’s bottled of freshly pumped teat juice at Heathrow Airport because they have a rule limiting liquids to 100 ml containers, which I’m told is about four ounces. They do make an exception for larger quantities of baby milk on the off chance you have a baby present. Milano was traveling alone, but being the Joan of Arc of breastfeeding, she’ll go at it even when her baby is on a different continent. It’s called nature. Also, attention. And maybe a slight tick of pleasure. Milano immediately took to Twitter, which serves as her agent, manager, publicity rep, and entourage:

@HeathrowAirport I would have happily spread milk in different containers (which I travel with) to comply to those liquid rules. 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.

Milano went on to give TSA London edition some hell about their breast pump rules, including noting a conspiracy that her luggage containing her full scale commercial grade pumper never made it to her destination. She totes a mobile version spare in her carry-on because you never know when The Man’s going to try and deny your right to milk yourself. Heathrow Tweeted back something silly like, this is the liquid limit rule set by the British government, the rule is clearly posted, we’re sorry for any inconvenience, p.s. would you give us a follow?

With one deft move, Milano not only took on the crusade of breastfeeding, but now she owns the milk pumping without a baby movement. Whirr whirr whirr isn’t just the sound of the lady next to you on the plane reflexively pressing milk for humanity, it’s the sound of progress. Turn to your left if you ever want to enjoy sex again.
