i had a fruitless discussion, when we found a water bottle in my bag, he said he knew, exasperated, and it's the rules and whatnot, but I so wish he said "Look Son, I don't know it's water, so I'm asking you to dispose of it". It's like even the staff know how stupid the theatre is.

I'm sure he did that when he first started, but being berated on a daily basis ("Are you calling me a liar?!") probably made him decide that his current method is the path of least resistance.
