FRANKFURT: A woman has filed a complaint with German police alleging she was told to squeeze her breast at airport security to prove she was lactating. Gayathiri Bose said she was "humiliated" by the experience and would explore formal legal action. She said police at Frankfurt Airport were suspicious because she was carrying a breast pump but travelling without her baby. German police declined to comment on the allegations. But they said such measures were "clearly" not part of routine procedure. Ms Bose, who was travelling alone, said she was on her way to board a flight to Paris when she was stopped at the security screening station. The 33-year-old Singaporean said that after her carry-on bag, which contained her breast pump, went through the X-ray machine, she was taken aside for questioning. "[They had] an incredulous tone. 'You are breastfeeding? Then where is your baby? Your baby is in Singapore?'," she said. Ms Bose said the officers did not seem to believe her when she insisted the device was a breast pump.
