I completely agree with the posts concerning the unhygienic conditions that are being imposed upon anyone traveling by TSA procedures. One should add having to walk through the scanner in socks.

The airlines already realize that their tap water is not potable, and warn the traveler about drinking it. Instead they suggest you obtain bottled water on baord, and what has now becoming the added norm of selling bottled water to you.

In my opinion, of greater health threat is the condition of the air in the planes. Most of you are frequent fliers and have experienced an increased incidence of respiratory ailments within a week or so of being on baord a plane.
