You're responding to a post made under the old rules; post Sep 26, pax may once again carry water on board, as long as it was obtained inside the sterile area.

why don't the airlines start selling chilled bottled water on board the plane? even at $2 a bottle they'd be under cutting most airport vendors, and marking a 10x markup on the cost of goods, or perhaps better than that.

Be careful what you wish for.

I can see it now.... just like a movie theater, outside refreshments will be prohibited. They we will have airlines begging the TSA to re-implement the total water/soda/liquid/drink ban. Revenue protection. Just like ID check.

What would be the details? I mean, would it be that regular passengers
get some amount but you can buy more, or would all beverages be for
sale instead of complimentary?
