my experiance in DUB was similar.
Checked the bags and at the combined CBP showed me a picture of my bag and asked a couple of questions. I guess that if they are not happy with your response they can pull the bag and search it. As for duty free, as most things are cheaper in the US I don't think they are too bothered.
The CBP officer was unarmed and friendly.
