To keep from having to clean your humidifier tank. Some people have a fetish about that.
See this:

Expiration date??? It's WATER!
The OSA patient died quietly in his sleep.
Unlike his passengers who died screaming as the car went over the cliff...

Here in Portland the TCI is very strict. I have never been able to carry distilled water. Thankfully, I no longer need to use a humidifier. And, it is NOT laziness to carry on everything you need for cpap. With tight work schedules on business trips, finding distilled water, if that is what you need, can be next to impossible in a town you are not familiar with.
