I guess that someone is going to have to die before the a**h***s at DHS/TSA recognize that the liquids ban has the capacity to do more harm than any "threat" of terrorism.
Not to start a fight between anyone or cause any trouble, but no one has to go without water. You can purchase water, soda, juice, milk, etc. at the concession stands inside of security, drink what they need, toss the left over and get a new bottle from the flight attendant. Yes it is ridiculous and I wish the rules were differant, but for right now this is how it is. If someone needs water they will do whatever they have to to get it. Even it it means paying 3 bucks for a bottle of dasani. Do you remember the man in MKE that pulled out the bottle of water right right before take-off of a Midwest flight a couple weeks ago? The plane was taken back to the gate and after investigating, it was found out that a TSA agent let the man have the water for a medical reason. That person did the right thing and look what happened.
