The main reason that rule still exists is to sell overpriced water. Otherwise they could just ask you to drink some of it to prove it's water.

you are allowed to take empty bottles with you, just saying

Some airports have no place to refill and have only hot water in the toilet sinks. It's inhumane.

[-] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

Which airport? I have never ever experienced this.

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 4 months ago

I can't remember which one it was. Maybe Munich?

[-] Meimax@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Munich has refilling stations after security

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 4 months ago

I don't remember, and it was some time ago. Lately some airports have indeed been installing water refilling stations which is great.

Yeah … in their hot water toilet sinks. Gross!

This happened to me after a lunch break going back into the court room for jury duty. Didn't think about my soda until I got to the checkpoint, used to the TSA's mentality so figured the rest of it was forfeit. She just tells me to take a drink to show it's valid. Respect for people doing their job correctly, and using common sense.
