    A US mother-of-two has spoken of her frustration that she was forced to dump breast milk at security at London's Heathrow Airport.

    In an open letter posted on Facebook, Jessica Coakley Martinez, who was travelling without her eight-month-old son, said she felt "humiliated".

    Heathrow says the UK government's rules on carrying liquids on planes are set out for passengers on its website. The rules, set out by the Department for Transport, say that liquids may only be carried in containers holding 100ml or less in a transparent and re-sealable single bag. The website says exceptions are made in the case of baby food or baby milk but only if the passenger is travelling with a baby. It says excess liquids should be carried as hold luggage.

    'Unfair'
    Ms Martinez wrote that, although she should have looked up the rules, the regulation that breast milk was not allowed if the mother was travelling without her baby was "incredibly unfair and exclusionary in consideration of all of the other working mothers like me". She wrote: "If I acted irate, it's because it was the only appropriate reaction I could muster. "I now don't have the option to solely breastfeed my son because I don't have enough milk to supply him while I'm at work, despite all of my best efforts. "Being a working mother and ensuring both my job and my child get exactly what they need is the hardest thing I've ever done but you managed to make it nearly impossible in a single afternoon. "Security is the priority, but it isn't and shouldn't be your only goal, and it certainly shouldn't punish those you intend to protect.



    How much milk did she have? 500oz (14.8 litres)

    Anyone who "posts an open letter to Facebook" should have their family tortured and executed in front of them, and then sent to a hard labour camp for the rest of their lives.

    I'm confused. Why did she need the breast milk if she was travelling without her baby?

    Put your bag and milk in the cargo hold. If you're not using it on the plane you don't need it on the plane
