I saw that story on the news. She was at JFK Airport boarding a flight to Miami. In order to prove that her bottles of breast milk didn't contain an explosive she had to drink from each one.

Apparently this is what passes for security.
cateyeZ23, I feel bad about you being stopped for random security checks. My sister has flown from NYC to various cities in the USA and Europe for business. She is stopped almost every time. I think that it is because she is flying alone. She is 5'2" and tiny so she is no physical threat, but she is treated as one anyway. She didn't mind being stopped and having her bags searched. She did have a problem with being touched. It was humiliating. My mother's friend travelled from NYC to LA and was stopped. This woman is a 70+ year old senior citizen. They made her take off her shoes and bend over and pick them up in order to hand them to the security guard for inspection. She bent over, threw out her back, and spent her entire trip in bed in pain. She was also travelling alone. I think that flying alone might be a red flag for airport security. BTW, these are two white women.

That's a lie.IMO I was so tired of getting searched and all these white folks just boarding the plane with no search taking place on them. They are profiling I don't care what they say.
