I generally don't think about this at all with my 2 year old. If I have milk in the bag, it goes with me, and the TSA tests it while I am getting the stroller unfolded. It takes no extra time at all, and I've never been questioned.

I don't believe that there is an official age cut off, but is it really so hard just to buy some milk once you get through security? It might not be organic though, 
OP, why did you bother arguing with a TSA agent, especially after he let you through? Did you think this was going to change anything?

Sometimes lecturing the TSA after being cleared by the TSA is useful. It may help make it easier on the next people to encounter the TSA under much the same circumstances. Then again, the TSA may also take out its own frustrations on the next passengers.

We just went through both OAK and MDW with a sippy cup full of milk for a five-year-old. (Yes, we're trying to get him off them, that's another story.) TSA didn't blink an eye.
BTW, the Southwest FA told us they don't carry dairy products on any of their flights, so it's a good thing we brought the milk with us.
