KNOW WHY WATER BOTTLES ARE NOT ALLOWED IN AEROPLANES !

There is a common rule that packed water bottles are not allowed during air travel. Though this might be something usual in day-to-day life, but have you ever thought about the reason behind this. Let's explore the reason for the same in this article.

It’s just a security measure and it is not specific to water in fact it’s for all liquid items. Many liquids may explode when subjected to heat, shock, or flame. Some of them are dangerously sensitive and dropping or bumping a container may cause it to explode. For example, Nitroglycerin is completely transparent and is very difficult to distinguish with water.

This policy is actually fairly reasonable, and the base reason is that they can't run an analytical chemistry laboratory at the checkpoints. It is just for security reasons and to prevent terrorist attacks in the form of bombings.

Other advantages of forcing disposal of drinks are to reduce the cargo load of the plane (fuel efficiency) and to increase the revenue of convenience stores and coffee shops at the terminal.

Well, water is allowed; you can buy it inside the terminal (after security) and most long-haul airlines will give you free bottled water during the flight.
