Failback Position: Water or Bomb Parts?

It's time again for the Failback Position. This is the TSAFail feature that brings you classic fails from the past to enjoy alongside the ongoing fails of today. Think of it as a tidbit of fetid stilton to be savored with a bottomless pack of Kraft singles.
Today's Failback Position dates back to 2007 and takes place in the Albany International Airport. It was at that time that the TSA's own inspectors tested TSA field officers by trying to sneak prohibited items through airport checkpoints. See how you would fare in such a test by comparing your skills with those of the TSA. Type a, b or c in answer to the question below, which is based on a real life situation described in the Full Story...
A piece of carry-on luggage is going through a screening checkpoint and contains, amongst the usual items, a bottle of water and bomb parts. Do you:
a) confiscate the bag for containing bomb parts then alert the airport police?
b) confiscate the bag for containing bomb parts AND water then alert the airport police?
c) confiscate the water and let the bag through with the bomb parts?
Do not forget, that a TSA keyboard has only one key and it is 'c'.
