I mean the war on water and collateral damage to other sundry liquids...?

Leaving MEX T1 last weekend I was relieved (very apologetically) of my bottle of water by the security guy at the xray machine. He took the time to explain to me that things had changed recently and in spite of my mentioning that while I knew the estadounidenses were out of their minds on this topic, and I believed the Mexicans knew better, he apologetically but firmly indicated that the water had to go. bah.

I've been through T2 with water before, not T1, so my question: has something changed recently? I see that some US airlines fly out of T1, so is it because of their contaminating the rest of the terminal that this is happening?

FWIW, I use Kayak a lot to search for connections out of here, and I asked them to provide an option to remove US airlines from their results... I mean, it's completely beyond the pale to include airlines in search results that require a visa for merely transiting an airport, with interrogation, strip searching and irradiation thrown in as free extras.

People north of the border really need to do something otherwise you will redefine the word "pariah" for posterity
