The guy running the x-ray machine was perplexed to say the least until they were removed. This was at DIA. I’ve always brought an “empty” nalgene (1l wide mouth water bottle) through security (usually attached to the outside of my backpack with a carabiner).

I just googled it but couldn’t find any information. (I seem to remember that it was pretty well advertised.) I don’t fly (or shop in airports) often enough to know what the effects were, but I do remember being surprised that a bagel and coffee I bought were NOT outrageously priced!

Easily managed, nutritious, and delicious. Be careful when opening the bag to make sure it doesn’t explode all over the place.
