Milking Plastic Water Bottles

After September 11, water bottles were banned from airports/airplanes. But how utterly ridiculous is it that you CAN'T bring bottled water past security, but CAN buy the EXACT same bottled water once inside the boarding area?!?

I dragged myself out of bed and made it to the ice rink, but the session was cancelled due to structural certification. It was so last minute that even if I had checked the rink webpage, the cancellation would not have been posted yet :(. On the bright side, I got to work really early and looked forward to getting work done :).
