This was not a flight to the US, although it was on a US carrier.

I would never try to buy liquids after security in HKG, but I've never had this problem in NRT or SIN. Never departed PEK or PVG for the US or on a US carrier, so I don't know if they operate in a similar manner to HKG.

Regular issue at HKG for sure.

I just put the cans of soda in my pocket. They never checked there. However, after the events of the last several days, I am sure that they are going to start patdowns so that won't work any longer.
