Is it safe to bring an empty water bottle past the airport checkpoint and fill it up after you get past...?

Question

that point?

i'm leaving for on a plane for vacation tomorrow and I would like to know if doing this is fine.

Answer 1

Yes its fine keep it in ur hand luggage, but how are you going to fill it up with hot water....

From the Tap in the Loo wont be that hot unless u ask the air stewards..

Answer 2

yes..i think they allow empty bottles... but i would suggest that you buy the water after you get past  

Answer 3

dont know, can I bring an unloaded gun past security and then load it before I get on the plane?

Answer 4

Do it and find out.

Answer 5

yes, I do that all the time too.....on Saturday, I watched TSA make a guy throw away a bottle he was spitting into (he was chewing tobacco....yuck)

Answer 6

I think even empty water bottles need to fit the size requirement for liquid containers.  I don't believe they will allow you to carry it on.unless in luggage not carryon.

Answer 7

You'll be good. TSA is interested in the liquids you bring in with you, not the container for those liquids.

That's a really smart work-around. Nicely done.

Answer 8

yes that's fine. but i think you should just buy a water bottle there.  

Answer 9

Yes that's fine.  I do it all the time.  Just make sure to leave it out so they can easily tell it's empty.  

Answer 10

You can bring an empty bottle from home.  Keep it near the top of your carry on.  They may want to look at it.

Answer 11

yes

Answer 12

i wouldn't try it, just in case.

Just buy a water bottle when you get past secruityy.  

Answer 13

They'll probably scan it, run it through the liquid tester, open it and smell the contents, go through a very thorough investigation, and make sure you dont have any weapons inside the bottle cap.

Answer 14

Yes - I do it all the time.  It's a good idea, so that you conserve on using extra plastic water bottles.
