[QUOTE=biggestbopper;7763710]Agreed, gouging is bad. But, IMHO, given that when one buys bottled water one is essentially paying for something which is the same as or not as good as what is available for free it is hard to get too excited about bottled water overcharges.

Drink tap water. And carry a refill bottle. Avoid gougers. @:-)

Carrying a bottle for refills isn't always convenient - but ultimately regardless of whether you do / don't carry a refill bottle, or do / don't drink spring or tap water, etc ... one should not be taken advantage of based on unethical operators jacking prices based on a consumer's inability to have access to water after the security screening IMHO.
