It was on top of an open bag, I guess next time I need to put it under things. I really had no idea they would not let an empty, clear, plastic bottle through.
was this recently? The TS/S forum had a bunch of stories like this at the beginning of the current madness - I recall ZRH figured prominently - but I had no idea this was still going on. Of course technically they won't LET you refill if you read the EU regulations - all the BS about sealed duty-free with proof of purchase, yada yada.
That's one of my number 1 gripes about the current regime. Since when exactly is it DG Transport's job to provide duty-free stores with a source of monopoly rents!
