(CBS) CHICAGO A Chicago area woman says she was kept off a plane for carrying three ounces of breast milk.
Cheryl Cirillo-Tarica, said she planned to board an American Airlines flight from Chicago's O'Hare Airport to Pittsburgh for a business trip this past Monday. That flight was canceled, forcing her to wait several hours for another flight.
Cirillo-Tarica said she came to the TSA security checkpoint with a bag containing three ounces of breast milk she had just pumped, and was told she could not board the plane unless she threw it away.
She said TSA workers told her she could not pass through a security checkpoint. TSA agents said that the six-ounce bag she was carrying was too big, even though the bag only had three ounces of milk.
