lol...exactly what I wanted to get!
You also have access to your bags when you pick them up inside International arrivals prior to going through Customs and recheck. I've carried on duty free before and just put it in my checked luggage there, then rechecked it.
I guess the only thing is the risk of bottles breaking in a checked luggage.
