Nope, I would just not buy a God damn thing out of pure spite after I saw that: Hit cancel, leave the bottle on the counter, and just leave.

Then again, I just carry a filtered bottle with me when I am forced to deal with airports just so I don't get ripped off by these fucking scumbags and their $7 water bottles.

As soon as I cross the checkpoint I just fill it up at the nearest sink or fountain and it tastes great! I recommend Sawyer ceramic filters if anyone else is interested, you can usually fit them into water bottle straws but they also sell bottles. They're rated to filter a million gallons too, so pretty good bang for your buck.

    I don’t bother filtering my water, because most of the places I travel have clean water available. Instead, I bring my insulated water bottle full of ice cubes through TSA.

    Interestingly they don’t care about frozen water, just liquid water.

    As soon as I’m through the line I go to a water fountain and fill it and now I have ice cold water.

    You could look into a purifier, but that's a lot of extra bulk. I did not know they didn't care about ice though, sounds like freezing water bottles before you go might be a decent solution as long as you can keep them frozen for long enough.
