Red bull and other food to bring on an airplane...
I have heard that in some airports, you are not allowed to bring on any open containers of drinks...or they ask you drink it in front of them. ok.
I know that I will be in need of a little pick me up when I land at my destination and I am contemplating bringing a couple of red bulls with me on my flight and I get the feeling that if I buy one once I am in the terminal, the price will probably be around 4 bucks! yikes!
Are closed containers of drinks allowed through the security checks before I get to my waiting area for my flight? I get the feeling is probably yes.....

Found this on TSA website:
...allows passengers to carry paper or foam polystyrene cups through the walk-through metal detector at the passenger security screening checkpoints of the nation's airports
The policy indicates that plastic glass metal or ceramic containers must go through the X-ray machines and therefore to prevent spillage liquids and food must be in an unopened factory-sealed container or a sealable or spill-proof container. This means that an open can of soda is not permitted through the checkpoint; however a bottle of soda with a sealable top is permitted as it can safely pass through the X-ray machine without spilling.
Also included in this policy is a reminder that screeners are prohibited from asking passengers to drink or eat from any containers of food or liquid as a security clearance procedure.
"With this policy we are making it crystal clear that the public should not be asked nor agree to drink any liquid or eat any food for security clearance purposes " said Loy.

You don't mention what airport, but I have not had problems bring plastic bottles or cans of diet sodas on board with me at various US and international airports. Howver, Red Bull is usually sold in glass bottles, (at least here in Hong Kong and in where I have seen it for sale in Europe) so that may be an issue. If you can get find it in cans, then I would bring cans rather than bottles.
