Elizabeth McGanny of Oceanside, N.Y., called WABC Radio's Curtis Sliwa and Ron Kuby Tuesday morning to relate the story.

Guards at JFK's Delta terminal first "patted me down and made me take my shoes off," McGanny told the morning radio duo. "One security guard took my 4-month-old out of my arms and then they went through the baby's diaper bag."

There the guards discovered the three suspect bottles, McGanny said, and promptly ordered her to drink the contents.

"I'm not drinking that. It's breast milk," she replied. "They said, 'Either drink all three bottles or you're not getting on the plane.'"

Elliot Gosko, on theother hand, was sick, literally.
Elliot, 14, was waiting on Easter Sunday to board a flight home to Philadelphia from Aspen, Colo. He was carrying a big Gatorade jug with water in it, and the screener at the gate told him to drink some of it.
It wasn't drinking water, however; it was from a stream near his grandparents' home in Snowmass. Back at Henderson High School, in West Chester, Pa., Elliot's science teacher was offering extra credit to any pupil who brought back water from a pond or stream; the plan was to culture the bacteria in the science lab. There was dirt floating in it.
Elliot, facing the security guard alone, sized up the situation quickly. ''I didn't really want to, but I did it,'' he said. And by the time he changed planes in Minneapolis, he had full gastric symptoms, he said. He came home and missed the next two days of school.
