Last year I took 2 separate trips to Central America, once to Costa Rica and another to Roatan, Honduras. On both return trips we went through security, making sure we didn't have water bottles. Then while at the gate we were allowed to purchase water and other drinks. But the crazy thing is that they then had another security check of our carry-on bags before we could board the plane and they took away the bottles we had just purchased. I have no idea why they did this, especially since nobody mentioned this when we purchased the liquids. It made absolutely no sense to me.
