A Seattle radio talk show host is relating this story and I wondered if anyone in the NY area can confirm:
A Florida-bound Delta passenger was apparently passing through security at JFK with her four-month-old daughter. A hand search of the baby's diaper bag uncovered three baby bottles of breast milk which the woman had expressed in advance to keep the baby fed during the journey. The security personnel made the woman drink all three bottles dry -- or else she couldn't fly. Their excuse was that the bottles could contain explosive substances.
She offered to just taste the milk. No.
She asked if she could have her baby drink the milk. No.
She asked if she could throw them away. No.
The woman was a white middle-aged person with a verifiable home address in the New York area. She apparently finally complied -- this is all going on in the public screening area, mind you -- and drank them all completely.
But she made some telephone calls afterwards... and now a major New York attorney is offering his services with relation to a civil rights lawsuit.
If true, this is absolutely psychotic. Someone is going to snap one day soon over coercive, pointless sadism like this. </font>
