My original post was about price gouging after the 'no bottled water through security' rule went into effect ... not about the quality of SFO water. Unfortunately with consistently poor service on long flights it is a necessity to have access to water in a bottle rather than begging attendants for repeated glasses of water. It was about the ethics of SFO food / retail operators price gouging to take advantage of the security situation. Hope that clarifies.
