A tray is provided for supporting bottles filled with liquid while the bottles filled with liquid are subjected to an X-ray inspection at a security checkpoint to determine the threat status of the bottles filled with liquid. Each bottle filled with liquid is characterized by a transverse dimension and a longitudinal dimension and is of an overall size suitable to be carried in hand-carried luggage allowed onboard a commercial aircraft. The tray includes a plurality of elongated recesses for receiving bottles filled with liquid, the recesses being defined between opposing walls spaced to engage the bottles filled with liquid on its sides when the bottles filled with liquid are placed in the recesses, the opposing walls preventing the bottles filled with liquid from rocking in the recesses during the X-ray inspection. In different embodiments, the recess may be arranged to hold a bottle filled with liquid in a position such that a meniscus in the bottle filled with liquid has a tendency to migrate toward an extremity of the bottle filled with liquid. A method for assessing the threat status of a bottle filled with liquid at a security checkpoint is also provided.
