Why? You can take 18 oz of stuff, put it into six 3 oz bottles and they will all fit into your KHIAAH baggie with room for more bottles.

The liquid restrictions are not based on any reproducible science and are dictated by some no-talent assclowns who could foul up a cup of coffee.

One does not have to "prove" medical necessity to people who are not qualified to practice medicine. An ETD of the bottle would be fine.

And then how would the OP put the water into the CPAP? It's needed in-flight.

So why are people still discussing it?
Distilled water isn't sold at any airport that I am aware of, nor do flight crew routinely have access to distilled water unless they brought a personal supply.

Still trying to practice medicine without a license? It's not for you to tell anyone else what they need or don't need. Although when it comes to liquids, Kool-Aid seems to be your drink of choice.

Perhaps someday the TSA employee who stole the water will be in a serious car accident and some punk on a skateboard decides said thieving employee not in need of medical attention and skates off. "Suck it up, tough guy."
