Poll: What reusable water bottle should I bring through airport security?
Here is my quandry:
A colleague recently returned from a domestic flight to another part of California and was apparently massively hassled by airport security over her Sigg bottle.
Now, we all know the DHS suffers from a wretched deficiency in cognitive function, even when presented with an empty bottle and a separately-stored screw-top that they can fully inspect with sight, sound, smell, and whatever other sampling technique they care to use...but I'm stuck between wanting: to ponce-about/stickin' it to The Man with my über-cool Sigg bottle versus the convenience of prostrate obedience* (and possibly some plasticiser ingestion).
Airports involved shall be: SFO, Frankfurt, Milano Linate, Heathrow.

*Yes, I am still peeved at USDA's confiscation of Italian meats. Grrr!

And yes, as with the dollar coin, I am becoming an evangelist for reusable containers^ of all kinds (well, I will admit to some aesthetic favouratism).
^Just ask Geneva about hers.
