Milk, par avion

Yeah! The TSA has lifted its restrictions! Now, a mother flying without her child will be able to bring breast milk through the checkpoint !!

This is a huge deal for me, as well as timely! My first trip is next week and I've been trying to figure out how in the heck I'm going to get my milk home. I may still have to check a bag, but I'm hoping with some creative packing I may be able to squeeze it all in my 2 carry-ons: Laptop, Pump (all of the icepacks), and clothes. Now I'm wondering how will I get through security with ice packs to keep all of the breastmilk cold/frozen? I can check my luggage on the way there so the ice packs will be in my suitcase. But what about on the way home?
