I am not beating the system. I am taking water (not anything remotely dangerous) onto an airplane.

All I am doing is getting it past a secondary and unannounced look into peoples bag which is not performed by airport security professionals. I have never been asked if I had water (in which case I would not lie).

If you think that taking any water purchased airside on a long overnight flight should be prohibited and punishable by not allowing this person to have the priviledge of not having to remove their shoes to fly within the US, I´m very sorry to say I believe there is something very wrong about your morals.
You wrote..." I have been hiding my bottle of water deep down in my carry-on and putting my follow-the-rules liquid baggie on top as a deterrent for years"

Now maybe i understood that as before the first screening and not the secondary, if so my bad (I don't think it was clear), however the statement clearly includes an intention of deceit (your word not mine). And i guess your point is that secondary screening isn't so good....uhh, ok so what.

As far as the rest of the drivel in your last post.......not even sure how to approach that.
