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

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.
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.

Second bag? What's that? 8-). However, I just don't buy duty- free stuff
anyway. Just more to lug around,

I agree.

when looked at against the total costs the savings are tiny.

Unless you are driving over a local border to bring back crates of
beer/wine, all that you can save on bringing back the odd bottle of spirits
is 10 dollars or so. You can save five times that not checking an extra bag
