I flew last week and put an empty 8 oz. Dasani bottle in my backpack to fill at a water fountain after going through security. I figured if they caught it on Xray, I would either (a) tell them it was empty and that wasn't against the rules, or (b) feign absentmindedness -- "Oh I totally forgot that was in there!"
I made it through TPA and BWI security with no problems.
