The last time I flew, I had a half liter bottle of water with me. I drank half of it while waiting in line to go through the "security" check point.
When it was my turn to go through, I still had about 4 to 5 ounces to drink, but since I was not thirsty anymore, I reluctantly gave it to the agent at the check point.
My point here is that I had a brief thought about just pouring the water on the floor - to make a point with the stupidity of making people throw away bottles of water that hold more than 3 ounces. But, since my wife was with me, I didn't pour it out. Subconsciously, I thought, I'd miss my flight because the agent would have taken that act as a terrorist threat. Yea, right!
