Yes, you can bring a metal water bottle.
The TSA (Transportation Security Administration) allows you to bring empty metal water bottles through airport security checkpoints. The key is that the bottle must be completely empty.
Here’s a breakdown:
- Empty is essential: The bottle must have no liquid inside when you go through security.
- Fill it later: Once you're through security, you can fill your metal water bottle at a drinking fountain or a water bottle filling station.
- Why metal? The material of the bottle (metal, plastic, etc.) isn't the issue; it's the presence of liquids that matters.
In summary, feel free to pack your metal water bottle, just ensure it's empty before going through airport security.
