Your hand luggage will be X-rayed on arrival so it will almost certainly be found.

At the old airport once I had an overnight transit and was not aware of the rule. The offending bottle was very courteously removed (after being spotted on the X-ray) and a receipt issued - no problem at all. The following morning I gave my receipt to a member of staff in the Premium Terminal, and within 15 minutes the bottle was returned to me.
