That's the case for any European transfer flight I've been on...

not in copenhagen the last two times I transferred there
It's to stop passengesr arriving from countries with inferior security
smuggling explosives and weapons into the airport.
And to **** off many buying duty free (liquids) at airports outside
Europe...

That is most certainly true. If you have a connecting onward flight,
you have to make sure when you buy duty free liquids that the vendor
seals them in a tamper-free bag good enough to satisfy security checks.
That's not enough, I'm afraid. These sealed bags will only be accepted
from a limited number of airports outside the EEA- and exclude any in
India, as I found out...
There is a way round it - you go out of the security area at the
transfer airport, and check the stuff in for the second leg.
Rarely practical though...
I always did it when I flew from Toulouse to Schiphol via Gatwick.
I would challenge you to do it on most of the connections I've had
recently, which are not only admirably short but usually limit me to one
check-in bag...
A 10 quid bottle of Bombay Sapphire isn't worth it.
