TL;DR
Enforcement is inconsistent: some passengers have their water confiscated at security, others are allowed to keep 2 bottles of 0.5L. Safest bet is to drink it before security or buy water after the checkpoint.
At Hurghada Airport security, water isn't confiscated from everyone — the people ahead in line had their bottles taken, while this traveler was allowed to keep 2 bottles of 0.5L.
Water bottles are checked at every security point along the way — from the airport entrance to boarding, including when transferring from a train to a taxi beforehand.
To avoid losing water at security, one traveler simply carried the bottle through all checkpoints and finished drinking it only once on the plane.
