Behold: the DNC Water Bottle Graveyard
You can bring metal water bottles through TSA, but not into the Democratic Convention. Whoops!

CHICAGO —I might not have experienced a canceled flight on my way to the Democratic National Convention, but I still may be out 40 bucks.
The Democratic National Convention sent a list of prohibited items to credentialed attendees, which included delegates, lawmakers, and the media. I saw that it included “metal,” but, I thought to myself, “Surely, that excludes water bottles—humans need water to survive.” And I’ve brought metal bottles through TSA screening many times before, so this would be no problem. Reader, I was wrong. And I was not the only person who thought this on Monday evening, although perhaps some people simply didn’t read the list.
