I've known some people who had problems with unlabeled,
self-capped homebrew being confiscated. Who knows what evil
substance they could have in those bottles? Of course, we
all know it'd be easy to recap a commercial bottle, so there
should be no difference, but I guess they don't pay airport
security people to think.
