Olympic organizers, fearing the use of �liquid bombs� at this summer�s games in London, are reportedly banning spectators from carrying outside water bottles to events.

It�s part of an exhaustive list of items attendees will be barred from bringing into the iconic sporting festival, which will capture the world�s attention from July 27 to August 12.

Strict rules say there will be no �liquids, aerosols and gels in quantities greater than 100 ml,� but empty water bottles can be filled up at water coolers inside the venues, Britain�s Daily Mail reported Sunday.

While banning outside liquids has been a familiar practice in airports, it�s newer to the Olympics, which has quickly become Britain�s biggest peacetime security operation, including the use of fighter jets and choppers.

As for other banned items at venues, the list includes: food (excluding baby food), weapons, whistles and promotional material bearing �religious, political or offensive content,� according to the London Olympic�s website for ticket buyers.

The Mail said some event goers are already balking at the rules, wary of potential price gouging.

For instance, a sandwich could set you back �4.90 ($7.90 in U.S. dollars) and a hot dog could fetch �5.90 (or $9.51), the newspaper said.

During test events at the Olympic Park last week, spectators got a taste of the high costs.

A games spokesman responded to the newspaper that they�ve gone to �considerable lengths to find great tasting, top quality food.�

Meanwhile, the security efforts by organizers took a hit when The Sun, a British newspaper, reported Sunday it had snuck a fake bomb past security checkpoints into the complex where the main stadiums are located.

�If I had terrorist connections I could be bringing in explosives, chemicals � anything at all,� The Sun quoted a driver who was given the phony explosive.

London game organizers said they were reviewing the newspaper�s claims.
