You could do something like this (replace contents of a can) in the airport bathroom. I believe there are other gaps in security that are far more glaring (like the people who clean the planes and stock the drinks). but this is what the security people what to focus on now. I am sure the airline industry will understand how this frustrates travelers and make sure there are more drinks on the plane.
This morning they said you could bring on Laptops and Ipods on US flights so that is a start....

it is common knowledge or common knowledge among readers of murder

airport and had a receipt then I wouldn't have had the opportunity to
do all that between buying it and boarding, but now I'm just
quibbling. Grrr.
