    “government agency” doesn’t own & run the shops & concessions. The monopoly is the corporate companies that own & run the retail. Yes, they pay rent to the airport authority, but they as the commercial enterprise sets the prices.

      You’re missing the point. You get past security, where you have to throw away food and drink, so where else are you going? Either suck it up or buy a water or items since you have nowhere else to get them.

        No I’m not. You can bring food past security, not liquids. I’ve brought on food bought from outside the airport & I always carry an empty reusable water bottle through security. Maybe check your privilege before going off on mansplaining.
