Blindsided by the seizure of a water bottle.

I believe you are the black eye, o petty, dehydrated one:

Comments: My wife and I visited your beautiful country in mid-January. We thoroughly enjoyed the visit. Upon our departure, we were blindsided by the security procedures in the airport. In the USA, we are allowed to purchase bottled water in the airport after the security checkpoint entering the concourse. Upon our departure from the San José airport, we were searched again just before entering the aircraft and all water bottles as well as other liquids were taken away. Your airport is selling plenty of bottles of water only to have them taken away at the plane entrance. This put a black eye on your country's security methods especially when we were not previously warned of this. This seems like a small issue but it is the final memory we have of Costa Rica.
