In the UK the airport 'news'agents now have entire walls of refrigerated bottled water.

There is no law in the UK requiring airports to provide free potable water to the public, so at around $3 per bottle this is an extremely lucrative consequence of security regulations.

Compared to that revenue, selling magazine is old hat!

* I am always delighted at the provision of water fountains in US airports. O'Hare even has ones specifically designed for filling bottles!
