The bottle was subjected to a swab test and a sniffer dog examination and both tested positive for explosives.
A security guard first spotted the bottle in the bag, Tri-State Airport authority chief Jim Booton said.
Officials say the woman is of Pakistani origin and was travelling on a one-way ticket to Charlotte, North Carolina. <!-- E SF -->
Chris Yates from Jane's Aviation told the BBC that both tests were extremely sensitive.
The likelihood that a container that had not come into contact with explosives would come up positive on both tests was extremely low, he said.
The incident comes a week after UK intelligence officers say they foiled a plot to blow up planes using liquid explosives.
