Warning - risk of duty free stuff being confiscated on the way to Prague

2007-03-11 08:19:38
It is reported by The Economist dated March 10 that if you buy duty free liquids outside Europe, carry them on the plane with you, and have to go through airport security while changing planes in Europe, your liquids will be confiscated, assuming they exceed 100 ccs.

Europe in this case means the EU plus Norway, Iceland and Switzerland. If you are flying from anywhere else to Prague and changing planes in Europe, this will certainly apply at major airports such as London Heathrow, Paris CDG, etc., and wherever international transit passengers must go through security checkpoints.

To avoid losing your alcohol or perfume, they need to be in your checked 
baggage.
