This has been the SOP since the Reid episode. I have yet to be in a U.S. airport that doesn't require shoe removal and screening since that time.
"...it will allow up to 4 ounces of liquid..."
4 ozs of nitroglycerine can do a lot of damage, especially to an airplane's hull in flight.
I have a question. Can you take an empty bottle with you and ask the stewardess to fill it for you? I suck down more water then a salt cedar on a plane trip and I would hate to have the nice ladies running back and fourth bringing me water.

Passenger Annie Jacobsen reported earlier this month in Women's Wall Street that the Syrians consecutively filed in and out of restrooms, stood nearly the entire flight in congregations of two and three, carried a McDonald's bag into the lavatory and passed it to another Syrian, and carried cameras and cellular phones to the restroom.
Just before landing, seven of the men jumped up in unison and went inside the restrooms. Upon returning to his seat, one man mouthed the word "no" as he ran his finger across his throat.
The men were flying on a one-way ticket via Northwest, and returning on a one-way ticket aboard JetBlue.
