Alyssa Milano has taken issue with Heathrow Airport for confiscating her pumped breast milk at security.

In a series of tweets posted this week, the 42-year-old actress slams the London airport, writing, "Why can you test my toiletries to make sure they are safe but you have to throw away my breast milk?"

She added: "I would have happily spread milk in different containers (which I travel with) to comply to those liquid rules. Instead, milk was taken away with no discussion. Shampoo, lotions, etcetera were simply tested and handed back with no issue. Makes no sense at all."

See her tweets below:

Milano ended her rant with: "PPS. I travel w/ a portable Medela breast pump on the plane. Hoping this is just a weird coincidence but my other breast pump that I checked w/ the rest of my baggage... is lost. Everything arrived at my final destination except my hospital grade breast pump. Filling out a lost baggage claim now."

Milano welcomed her second child last September named Elizabella Dylan Bugliari. She joined older brother Milo Thomas, who was born in August 2011.
