Good distinction. An earlier poster called it "going after" airport restaurants. Alcohol to-go could become verboten.
“We have received reports that some airport concessionaires have offered alcohol ‘to-go,’ and passengers believe they can carry that alcohol onto their flights or they become inebriated during the boarding process.The FAA requests that airports work with their concessionaires to help avoid this.” - FAA Administrator Steve Dickson
