You support the water ban despite the fact that there is no evidence that it is improving security one iota. In the absence of any evidence from the government that water is a threat, then, you are simply espousing a philosophy that people don't need to bring their own water on a flight. This philosophy is being enforced by the TSA and remains in effect because a lot of people (such as yourself) support the policy and not enough oppose it. Thus, the philosophy is being forced on those of us who prefer to bring water.
Now, if the government shut down the TSA because of my complaints, I guess you could say that I am forcing my anti-TSA philosophy on you. But that hasn't happened, and is unlikely.

Actually you're the one who turned this thread into a "mine's bigger than yours" discussion, by saying that the people opposed to the water ban must be infrequent flyer, unlike yourself.
