(I traveled so much I was really surprised by this--proof we never know it all, huh?!) Security said if I bought it in a duty-free shop and it was sealed, I could bring it, so I trotted back to the shop. Nope again. They ONLY did that for alcoholic liquids, they said. Defeated, I asked them if they would refund my purchase. They did that, so I wasn't out any money, and I tolerated Diet Pepsi for 14 hours. Let's just say I ate a smaller meal :-) We Coke-Products people are really... different.
The other thing I learned the hard way at DOH is that for US flights, while they accept duty free liquids purchased and sealed in DOH, but not for connecting flights. So my duty free purchased and sealed in DXB had to be confiscated and ‘destroyed’. It’s one of the most ridiculous rules. They blamed US TSA which I get but very frustrating when it isn’t consistent in different places.
