AerLingus gets it.

It’s a small gesture that goes a long way: For the last week, the Irish airline has been putting a half-liter bottle of water at every seat on flights from the U.S. And now they’re tooting their own horn about it.

I think this is great. (Unsurprisingly, since water at every seat was my first suggestion/prediction here, and I ranted against insufficient beverage service here. Glad to see someone stepped up.)

Yes, in the grand scheme of things, security is still more inconvenient than effective — go read this piece by Bruce Schneier, “Refuse to be Terrorized” — but anything that even slightly reduces the irritation of air travel is okay in my book.
