*Keke Palmer recently took to Twitter over a situation she says happened at Houston’s airport while trying to carry 16 ounces of pumped breast milk – presumably through the TSA checkpoint.
The actress, who welcomed her first child with boyfriend Darius Jackson earlier this year, tweeted on June 12: “Breast milk discrimination at the Houston airport ruined my mood. I should’ve popped my tit out right then because the discretion and comfort of pumping is thwarted with threats to throw out over 16oz [of] my babies food?!?!!!”
“Why is that not a crime??” continued Palmer. “I’M A MOTHER for crying out loud.”
Palmer didn’t detail how she toted the 16oz, but according to TSA, breast milk, as well as formula, toddler drinks and baby food in quantities greater than 3.4 ounces or 100 milliliters are allowed in carry-on baggage and do not need to fit within a quart-sized bag.”
Meanwhile, many of Palmer’s followers described going through similar experiences at different airports.
I’ve had this issue in soo many airports. TSA really needs to get it together. ????

Ughh so sorry this happened to you! I had a similarly bad experience last year. Afterwards I worked with @RepKatiePorter on a bill to help solve the problem. It’s called the BABES Enhancement Act and we need people to call their reps to get it passed ???????????? https://t.co/CuKgUMjDsO

Palmer revealed her baby bump while hosting “Saturday Night Live” in December 2022. The following month, she got candid about how pregnancy was positively affecting her skin.
“There’s no more of the bumps,” Palmer said in an Instagram video. “I found the secret to clearing up my acne, and guess what it is? You need to get knocked up. Period. Point blank. Period.”
“I’m about to be pregnant for the rest of my life,” she quipped.
