Only thing I said to them was after they pulled out the bottle.

They said the container is the issue. Well it was mostly empty and there's no way to refill it without a syringe.

Meanwhile they say nothing about my empty 20 oz water bottle.

So is it the size of the container or isn't it?

Now I go on a long flight and have to deal with no way to hydrate my dry eyes.

Again, I've been through dozens of international flights since the liquid limitations. Why the Greeks chose to be sticklers I don't know. I didn't say a peep to them until they grabbed the bottle.

I remember before the Athens Summer Olympics there were security concerns, whether the Greeks would be up to it.

Maybe they decided to be more hardcore about it after that.

It's not an enlightened thing to say but they need to profile, play the percentages and probabilities of ethnic groups, nationalities and religion of people who've been known to try to perpetrate terrorism. That's how law enforcement works, they use probabilities based on historic patterns of behavior.
