Hello Björn.

If the bottle is taken from me at the shop and only returned to me at the gate
and the seal was broken by others in the process, I can no longer be sure of
what is in the bottle. Ask any professional bicyle racer why they never take a
bottle for drinking from the public.

Ask Ward, His daughter is a canditate for the Olympics. I bet she never takes a
bottle of what from someone she does not know....

Then obviously not having the hidden marker, it would not pass the scanner. As
it should....
