Since the shoe-bomber threat, the government has required airline passengers to leave their water bottles behind at security checks, prompting a spike in discarded plastic. What role should the government have towards requiring all airports to place recycling bins at security checkpoints so that this massive source of plastic can be recycled?

I think the decision about recycling which I think all local governments should be encouraging is a local one. And I would certainly encourage airports to provide recycling receptacles so that when plastic bottles with liquid in them have to be discarded because they can’t go through the magnetometers that they be placed in recycling receptacles. But that’s a locally controlled issue.
