All liquids aren't allowed on airplanes, because the airport security can't determine whether a liquid is explosive. For example, the X-ray machine can't tell a difference between water and nitroglycerine.

The x-ray machine can’t always tell what a liquid is. liquid soap could also be some kind of explosive in a soap container. as well as water. It could be drugged or be a danger hazard in the air. It does sound annoying, can’t bring your own water,liquid soap, purfume and really any liquid, but it’s for your safety and others.

The ban on liquids is a protection against explosives. Shortly after September 11, 2001, there were a few attempts to blow up aircraft with liquid explosives.

the reason why only limited liquids are allowed onboard is to avoid destructive and alarming chemical reactions that might cause hazard on the aircraft and its passengers onboard
