Last Friday (10/27), I was flying from BKK to TUS via NRT and LAX. I carried with me (on board) UA 890 a bottle of Moutai bought at BKK duty free. At LAX, I forgot to put the bottle into one of the suitcases when I was re-checking them. Of course, I didn't get through the security check, which surprised me at first, thinking that I carried this all the way over the Pacific on a US-flag carrier.
So I went to the premier check-in line and expained the situation to an agent (the liquor was in a very obvious package with a big "MOUTAI" on it). The very nice agent took some time to find a cardboard box and check it in with no trouble at all. No cushion. No questions asked.
