To not have that capability would be a serious OSHA violation.

Huntsville got smacked on the hand a couple of times from OSHA, as a matter of fact, for not providing accessible drinking water at the checkpoint and in checked baggage. Now we have one of those nifty tap-tub water devices with an internal chiller at the checkpoint so that it dispenses icy cold water whenever we need it, and two water jugs with taps that we keep filled with fresh ice water down in the checked baggage area.

As far as bringing our own personal drinks... to my knowledge, that's still a no-no. Strictly speaking we can, like, bring them up and into the checkpoint, but can't go beyond the checkpoint with them.

How's it work at other airports? (for the TSOs that post on here, obviously~)
