Airlines can't know what in your "water" in a non-commercially
prepared bottle of water, and they don't have the time or capability
of testing it.

They don't know what's in commercially prepared bottled water either... it's
very easy for the evil doers to refill a plastic bottle without breaking the
cap seal. But there are water fountains and restrooms within the secured
areas so I imagine they'd allow folks to fill their own clear plastic
bottles. I think it would be extremely easy for someone up to no good to
smuggle a liquid explosive aboard a plane, I'm positive the filthy
towelheaded camel ****ers know about breast implants.
