SVO - transit area and control of liquids ?
If we are transfering in SVO and have duty free liquids on first leg do they control liquids again in SVO or we can open safety bags before seond leg from SVO ?
For example in ZRH there is a liquid control in front of "gates area" while in IST or WAW if you are transfer pax and arrived from other country and you are departing to another you don;t have to go to another control.
The question is coming from issue about drinks bought on first airport

Beware of SVO checks! I do not know the current situation for transits but they were very strict (to not say more...
) with liquid checks.
One year ago I saw a policemen with dozen of bottles behind him...
The least to say is that he was very efficient!
Kidding apart, Russia has to deal with terrorism and I think that's why they strictly apply the rule especially towards EU and USA flights.

In IST it very much depends on where you are headed to. They have plenty of gates configured to be able to perform a security check entering the boarding area and my last flight through - to BCN - included many water bottles "surrendered" at the x-ray. I'm not sure about booze in sealed DF bags.

(DRINK THE BOTTLE BEFORE LANDING IN SVO) or watch it go away

OK, I've never transited SVO but how do they check it? With the new security arrangements in place there are no more gate checks. You surrender your liquids right after immigration and the whole sterile area is one open zone with no further checks. Is there a separate security check for transit passengers?
