New Age Duty Free

[Fredrika Gross]

I can't answer the question directly, but I've just gotten back from Austin,
TX so I can tell you what I experienced.

No liquids (with certain specific exceptions) could be brought through the
security screen.  It was business as usual within the secure area, so one
could make a purchase and leave the area but if that purchase were a liquid
it could not come on the plane (we were inspected as we boarded).  I suspect
there's no issue purchasing duty-free liquor for delivery outside of the
airport - it simply can't go on the plane.

Greetings all,
Can anyone update us on the current practical impact of the latest security
measures on buying Duty Free liquids?
Does this mean the end of buying Duty Free, with pick-up outside the
airport, and presentation of goods and VAT form to customs after passport
control?
Ralph
