Yep. and I'm a big water drinker - those stupid little bottles they
serve on the planes are good for maybe three swallows... I always bring
a nice sized-bottle on with me.
Next month, they'll make you strip down to your undies at the screening
point and make you stay that way until you land, at which point they
will hand back your clothing so you can try to find a bench to sit on
while attempting to get dressed again. Of course, there will only be
seating for 5 people out of the 100 on the plane...
