Airport security confiscated an empty water bottle

AuSammy said:
Yes “sterile” departure lounges at SIN have water fountains to fill your empty water bottle and no secondary search in the aerobridge.

What p….d us off a few years back was at HKG where they confiscated water and bottles on entry to gate lounge then sold us bottles of water in the gate lounge and then after scanning boarding pass and entering the aerobridge they searched everyone’s carry-on again and confiscated the water they just sold us 🤬

Last time I went through HKG (12 months ago) it was 'exempt' now. No idea why/what they did to get 'exempt'.

Again, we are the only country that insists on it, 20 years on from 2006. And even if you could justify it 'to keep safe', why only do it from some countries and not others?
