A Plug for Nalgene
On this trip, I've learned the joys of taking an empty Nalgene bottle through security. It works like a charm. Dump the bottle before entering security. Then, as you put your bags on the conveyor, hold up the bottle and say, "This is empty." TSA won't hassle you, and you can fill the Nalgene at a water fountain on the other side.
This even works at the crazy Civic Center in Hartford. I was the best-hydrated delegate at the Synod, and I didn't buy a single $3.50 bottle of water -- although I did buy a $4.50 Coke during one particularly sleep-inducing business session.
