1)  The Airlines I've flown with don't have bottled  water....usually only 
seltzer....or ice water from their onboard  machines ....and most people long 
ago read what I did...that airline  water was tested and found unsafe to drink 
because it contains more  contaminants than the toilets since the machines were 
inadequately  cleaned..making it far safer to carry on one's own bottled  
water...ergo my reasons for doing so.  
 
 2)  My medical issues require I take my meds prior to  take off.
 "they" don't begin to serve juices, seltzer, sodas until the  plane is 
already in the air.  


3)  people with certain other medical problems are  continually told to stay 
hydrated with plain water onboard long trips,  another reason I carry my own.
 
4)  Besides harmonicas, MY carry-on harp bag/case contains  my tool kit.....a 
small bottle labeled and containing 91% rubbing  alcohol, Maas polish, a mic 
with cord, tape deck with ear  phones.....any or all of which could be 
construed by a screener  and/or security xray machine in today's charged atmosphere 
to be  "suspect"  and all of which most certainly pertain to harmonicas.

The focus is on liquids and  electronic devices, neither of which pertains to 
harmonicas.

Aside  from electronic effects boxes, digital delays, etc, for carry on ONLY, 
if  you can deal with the longer security check and having to play the  
harmonicas for them, it shouldn't be a problem.

Also, they should  have water and juices on board for passangers to drink.
