So, you can check large quantities of fluid, but you can't carry them on?
That has been an issue with overseas connecting flights. Passengers buy duty free liquor overseas, it is delivered to them at the gate and they fly back to to the US, go through customs, etc with no issue UNTIL they go to board their connecting flight to another US city. Then that same bottle is not allowed because it is too much liquid for carryon. They didn't find out until their bags were rechecked in.
End result - good liquor in the trash (where it was quickly snarfed up by airport employees)
