My grandma actually does that when she flies. She takes an empty bottle of water through security and then once past security fills it up from a water fountain. Also saves some money for the cost of bottled water in airports. Great suggestion! Bottles for water are great, even just keeping a cup at your desk at work is easy and great for the environment.

On a related note, I'd also suggest doing the same thing with water. I keep a Nalgene bottle on my desk and fill it up from the fountain instead of buying bottled water or using the styrofoam-ish cups from the cafeteria. Having the empty bottle on my desk is also a good reminder that I need to drink more water than I currently do.... If you don't like the idea of using a plastic bottle, Sigg makes some really nifty aluminum bottles; you can find them at http://www.mysigg.com. Good idea!
