I believe that any person who is afraid of an empty water bottle is a great threat to air safety and should never be allowed to fly.
We need to post signs at each airport gate similar to what you see in amusement parks and on the back of your ski-lift ticket:
You are about to ride through the air at great speeds which may involve bumps, jolts, and in some rare cases, death. Persons with great or irrational fear of toothpaste, bottles of water, dark-skinned men with beards, or the inherent risks of life, should not ride this attraction.
