I would imagine that is because we have much less common sense here and unfortunately a culture of suing. So it wouldn't take long until someone scalded themselves then complained

You can. Just take it through security empty with a tea bag(s) of your choice. Then go and ask at a coffee shop for some hot water. If you find one with a separate milk jug (eg Starbucks) just top up the flask as you wish. Morally wrong - debatable but you aren't using an independent coffee...
