In TUN they search everything (all passengers seem to be searched by a crew member)since they seem to deem it an unsafe departure point. So this goes beyound alcohol (or porc, for that matter, as indicated in one of the 2018 posts ;-). I think from the above you can deduce that whatever is in hold luggage one one ticket, will pass the KSA.
Of course do not try this with hand luggage ;-).
