I dunno, 9/11 proved that a plane is efficient enough at destruction to take down an entire supertall office building. Can someone do that in a theater, train station, or stadium? And in the decades before 9/11, hijackings were actually a somewhat regular occurrence and real threat. Yes, there is security theater involved, but I think airplanes are very obviously a special case. When they used to get hijacked it was a difficult situation because authorities were trying to deal with a fast moving plane with civilian lives on it (so they can’t just shoot it down), and that person could cross borders and do all kinds of things that you can’t do any other way. They can be flown anywhere quickly, they can’t be evacuated when they flying, and they can quickly cross borders and barriers. Water isn’t banned, either. There’s plenty of free water past security. Bring an empty water bottle. Or just bring ice: https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/items/ice https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/...
