Save money after airport security

Just take a large empty bottle through security and then fill it with some of the finest tap water in the world. You can even take 100ml of your favorite to mix with it if you like. I wonder what next they will find to rip us off for if everyone did this?

    I dont mind paying more for a bottle of water after security, its better than letting people through with liquid explosives who may be on my flight!

    Yes funny you should say that I was looking at them yesterday. Oh well I am sure someone will agree with the OP but I am happy as it is.

    Something I have done for a while - BUT when I took an empty bottle through with me at Stanstead, there were no cold water taps! Hot water only in the bathrooms, and I ended up ditching the bottle, and I had to buy a drink anyway!! I suppose I could always have asked at one of the bars/cafes.....
