Maybe they should sell the liquor in small transparent baggies.

Sure.  But while folk like us probably ought to think of 
the issuebefore we 
buy something in Duty Free -- because, after all, we 
*always* forsee the full 
range of interaction effects, when making changes to 
complex systems -- it's 
not reasonable to expect average travellers to.

No warnings.  Nothing.

      At least the last time I bought duty free alcohol, Febuary,
      the staff warned me before I completed the transaction that
      I would not get it through security.  I luckily have the
      option of purchasing it when I leaving and picking it up
      just before immigration and customs.  The pre-departure
      price is also less than the pre-arrival price.

They get inside a security perimeter and think they are 
safe to buy the 
liquids they could not take through the perimeter.
