I saw a sign at DAL on 6/24/02. It said something like "No beverages through the security checkpoint." There was no distinction between opened or unopened, bottles or cups.</font>
So there's an unopened bottle of Aquafina is verbotten, yet an opened bottle of shampoo or conditioner is ok. What kind of prohibited items can you smuggle on in a beverage that you can't smuggle on in some other bottle?
Something I'd seen before, which seems fairly logical, is to require that everything goes through x-ray (i.e., no walking through carrying something). But anything that could spill gets dumped in the trash to avoid spilling inside the machine.
