There was an article in the Chicago Tribune a few days ago that stated that
the requirement for drinking fluids in open see-thru containers (that is, not
factory sealed) has been lifted -- as have those two questions:  Has anyone
unknown to you asked you to carry anything on the plane; and has your luggage
been w/ you at all times.

Apparently you don't have to prove that the substance in your styrofoam
Starbucks cup is a double skim latte w/ vanilla flavoring, but you'll still
have to drink something from your opened Diet Coke can.
