To be fair, traveling with a baby makes you much less likely to attack a plane.

This exception makes the TSA's policy more pragmatic and reasonable.

The harm of denying a baby milk or formula is worse than the risk of terrorism in this case. Not to mention is that it lowers the incidence of crying babies on flight.

The same logic could be applied to hand sanitizer restrictions in a global pandemic. Allowing people to carry a larger size could save more lives than the risk it poses. This is especially true when shortages can make it difficult to buy a travel size.
