Don't know if they were making this up or not.
No problems at ATL customs, no charges. And TSA at international bag re-check insisted that they x-ray by hand with other fragile items so that it didn't go on the main x-ray processing belt where "things get knocked around some".
Mark, thanks for sharing your experiences. The 5 liter "rule" sounds to me like just another of these free interpretations...
I mean, whats the difference between 5 and 6 liters of wine?
It would be great if airline employees could point to a part of the website where the rules are spelled out in print, so there is no room for funny interpretations.
