You sound as though you have a workable solution in using distilled water.^

I just hope that the re-education for TSA employees is as unpleasant for them as was your dealings with TSA. One day a TSA employee's actions will lead to either death or permanent disability for someone whose only transgression was the desire/need to fly.
