Did you ever swear at yourself aloud, and perhaps under your breath at airport security for confiscating your little plastic bottle of water before you board an airplane? India has a unique way of dealing with the thirsty. The security official simply removes the bottle cap, hands you back the bottle and asks you to take a good, big gulp. Provided you don't fall to the ground in writhing pain, you're given back the cap and left to water yourself at will.
