Kind of tired of seeing this obviously wrong and cynical reasoning. You are allowed to bring food through, and also empty bottles that you can refill at dedicated water bottle filling stations.

I like to think of it as cynical naivete. You don't actually know, nor are you curious enough to find out, but you want to appear wise and full of hard-earned real world experience. So you just assume the worst intent on everyone's part.

I always figured it was like the shoe removal or rumors about disallowing laptops on carry-on... the authorities had intelligence that these things would be used as part of an attack.
