I DIDN'T FOLLOW TRAVEL REGULATIONS AND I WAS DEALT WITH IN PRECISELY THE MANNER ANYONE WHO HAS TRAVELLED ON PLANE IN THE PAST 15 YEARS SHOULD EXPECT WHEN THEY DON'T FOLLOW RULES IN AN AIRPORT, THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS
I KNOW WHAT I'LL DO, I'LL WRITE AN INDIGNANT OPEN LETTER TO MY FACEBOOK PALS TO EXCORIATE AN AIRPORT FOR ENFORCING LAWS IT HAS NO CONTROL OVER, THAT'S A SENSIBLE WAY TO REACT INSTEAD OF, I DUNNO, LEARNING OR SOMETHING
My other half bought the Daily Star because she needed some newspaper for Papier-mâché (she gets ridiculously competitive over homework projects for our kids) and it's cheap. On their agony aunt page was someone who'd written in because she was annoyed that her friend was still breastfeeding her 3 year old and liked to be on as much view as possible before indiscreetly whipping her wabs out.
Some women go full on mental and act like they're the first mother ever and the world needs to bend over backwards to accommodate them. You watch, there'll be a breastfeeding protest outside Heathrow.
>>22495 But airport security are famously accommodating!
>Rules and procedures at airport security are rarely universally enforced because similar to police officers, a significant aspect of your job is public trust and engagement, which includes using your judgment regarding appropriate enforcement in complex situations. Such as a mother trying to bring food home for her baby.
I'd love to go to whatever fucking airport she's been flying out of, Jesus Christ.
>14Kilos of variously frozen and slushy organic liquid. Someone's taking the piss here. I'd be reasonably happy if security had stopped it as hold luggage, let alone carry-on. Good luck suing Heathrow for this one, you special, special snowflake.
The article doesn't say where she was going, but even if it was a short trip, say from London to Manchester, by the time she's got wherever she's going it'll be very much on the way towards being thawed. So what then? Is she going to try and re-freeze it all? Or is she going to feed the whole lot to the baby in the next day while it's still fresh.
It would be easy to justify confiscating this just for the sake of the baby.
15 fucking litters. I'd treat that as deeply unusual, and therefore highly suspicious. Unless you don't plan on seeing a baby for well over a week you would not need that much breast milk. I'd have tested the milk for drugs, and flagged her as possibly child trafficking.
>>22500>>22501 She's American. Apparently she spends a lot of time away from home on business, so she spends her spare time pumping milk our her udders to dump on whoever is looking after her child for sustenance.
This article gives me that horrible feeling that people are being goaded into supporting airport security with the clever use of a rather unsympathetic example.
>>22504 Don't be silly. Everybody knows airport security is ridiculous. Part of the reason why they know it's ridiculous is that they've spent 15 years complying with it in all its absurdity.
>>22494 Being made to throw out precious mammarymilk is a horrible thing. It forms an important part of a childs immune system, it probably took her a while to extract it and the kid will suffer now because he won't get another chance like this to bolster his defences ever again.
>>22508 Yeah, that's why she probably should have checked out the regulations before attempting to export the products of her industrial scale milking.
>>22508 She could always, you know, spend time with her son instead of jetting off to the other side of the world so that she has to dump 15 litres worth to keep him going until the next time she'll be in the vicinity and can top up his milk supply again.
Please provide answers for these security questions. All of the questions are pre-defined and do not related to you in the least, which ensures that the answer you give here will have been forgotten the next time you try to log in.

Ah! You remembered to call! Please listen to this monologue about the identity check procedure, understand that it isn't dangerous at all (it really isn't, I promise) and give your consent. If you don't consent then I guess we'll keep your money. Oh, you consent, do you? Excellent. Just answer a few simple questions and you'll have confirmed your identity. Remember that bank account you opened in 2004? Who was it with, and what was the overdraft limit? Where did you live in 2010 and for how long?
It looks like we haven't been able to confirm your identity. Would you like to come into our office in a town 20 miles away, nowhere near a train station and where buses don't stop, to confirm your identity in person?
