Thank you "mshaikun" for standing up for me so to speak. As far as people with other health problems that may need water to keep hydrated and keep from becoming sicker, these issues will be handled on a case by case basis. There is a provision in the SOP that says if the passenger needs water for a medical issue, it can go. How your going to prove it's health related? I don't know what to tell you. I'm not a supervisor and don't know what will and will not suffice. I,the day after the ban went into effect, allowed an ederly lady keep a 32oz jar of water so she could take the 13 pills that she needed to sustain her life. She said she needed to take these pills every 8 hours. It was clearly the right thing to do and I decided that on my own without involving my supervisor. Thankfully she didn't try to blow anything up with that jar or I would have had some explaining to do. Will every case be handled like this? NO, but hopefully most will. I don't really believe in the liquid ban as it is being handled today. There should be changes made. At least let sealed liquids in or allow people to take things purchased in the sterile area with them on the plane or just get rid of the whole ban entirely. I'm not even allowed to bring my can of soda or bottle of water in with me and I'm the one taking it away from all of you. I know how your feeling, but as "mshaikun" said I'm just doing my job. I don't make the rules.
