He then said that I could choose which bin to toss it into... The trash bin to his left OR the donations bin to his right
Donations bin? Yes... Anything in the donations bin was given to local homeless.
Think this through for a second.
The water is too risky to take on a flight BUT BUT BUT it is **is** safe enough to give to homeless people to drink.
After all? Who would care if... ???
The logic of this still leaves me scratching my head
But at least the "dangerous" liquids are still in their containers.
As opposed to PDX, where one can pour the liquids into a common bin.

Which seems more "dangerous"...but it's not, because the flippin' liquids were never dangerous to begin with!
The thing I used to get stopped for the most was my massage roller thingie...sort of looks like a dumbbell, but I think something of the innards looked funny under xray.
