DEEP DIVE

The Airport Security VS Water meme features iterations of TSA agents comedically over-reacting to the presence of water in airports. It is a spoof on the actual law prohibiting travelers from bringing water bottles through security checkpoints.

In the meme, security agents view any type of water (not just personal water bottles) as a serious threat to safety. They react as if water were a stand-in for guns or acts of terrorism.

The meme was first made popular on Reddit.
