So, this American family walks up to the security line with 2 bottles of water in their backpack. The water was purchased in the Prague airport for making bottles for Marcus and "security tagged". The security screener says, "We don't accept security tags from outside airports. Due to increasing security regulations...blah, blah, blah, blah, blah... you'll have to throw away the water". So the American Dad says, "But wait, it's for baby food. Isn't baby food allowed?" Security screener (whose "How to Spot a Potential Terrorist Handbook" apparently didn't address this situation) says, "Uh, yeh...". American Dad continues, "So you're telling me that if I empty these water bottles into these empty baby bottles it's ok for me to take this water on board?"
Security screener: "Uh, yeh".
American Dad: "Are you serious???"
Security Screener: "Uh, yeh."
So American family holds up the security line and pours the water into the bottles while simultaneously corraling an impatient toddler and wiggly infant.
Security Screener: Apologies profusely for the absurdity of the situation and attempts humor by giving us permission when we get to America to "sit around the Christmas tree and laugh and tell everyone about the crazy security woman in Amsterdam that made us do this". After the water has been successfully transferred, we are allowed to take our empty water bottles and pour the water back out of the baby bottles.
So, Ms. Dutch Security Woman... we're laughing about you. And the terrorists have won again.
