I have an extremely low opinion of airline security... I've had entirely too many incidents where I've gotten on board a flight with something that I never should have been allowed to get on board with (blow torch w/ fuel, 6 inch chef's knife, fairly large swiss army knife that was in the hand of the security agent as she hand searched my bag two weeks after 9/11) and things that have been confiscated... Tweezers (by the same guard who didn't see the swiss army knife in her hand) a plastic knife that wouldn't cut butter, a key.
Would we be better off without airport security? No probably not. But is confiscating water bottles going to help anything? No.
There's got to be a better way than what's being done... Do I have a solution? No, of course not, it's easier just to sit on an internet forum and think I know everything...
If someone has the intent of doing evil... they will do it.
