Boobies? Jugs? Yeah sure. They're okay. Mr. Chertoff says you can transport mother's milk in those. But mother's milk brought in a container (like a bottle?) could represent a grave danger to homeland security. Soccer moms may not look like terrorists, but can anyone really be sure? And isn't there something suspect about a mother dragging her milk across the country if her baby isn't in her arms? I mean a woman business executive might be a nursing mother. She might have gone on an overnight junket and needed to pump a little milk out, and she might want to save it to bring it home the next day. Sure that's possible, but then again she could be planning a little bomb making session in the bathroom. Anyone who has ever breast fed knows you can't just ignore the fact that breasts can only hold so much. Once they become over-inflated those bladders can squirt--and they can squirt amazing distances. I doubt if mother's mik was really a threat to our national security, but if one of Ms. Exec's breasts should take aim and squirt the CEO across the table in the eye it could give nursing executives a bad name. It could cause nursing-mother discrimination in the workplace. Ah, dear, the stresses of war are innumerable.
