Done that, security check on one flight I was on at boarding forced all liquids to be emptied.
- viraptor 10y agoDubai does that for some weird reason. They didn't use to until last year though.
- spookyuser 10y agoNevermind that, I once tried to board a flight in Dubai with a completely empty water bottle. Just before I boarded the plane, security stopped me and rummaged through my bag for a minute or so as though they were looking for something then just threw my empty bottle out, saying it was not allowed. I was thirsty for the whole flight because of that. They did, however, manage to foil my plan of bringing down an A380 with an empty 200ml bottle.
- suvelx 10y agoThis. Dubai had some major security theatre. Get off one plane, go through security to the transit terminal. Wander around, refill water bottles. Buy some duty free, get it put in a cardboard box with a ziptie. Go to gate, go through ticket check, some corridors to gate lounge. Get cardboard box confiscated and put in a pile of similar looking cardboard boxes. Asked to empty water bottle... where? You can't turn around. Chug a litre of water. Have bags 'checked', go into lounge, refill water bottle again. Pee three times. Still better than flying through any US airport tho.
