I had a opened bottle of gin in my checked in bag. I had wrapped sticky tape around the cap and wrapped the bottle in towels.
The security guard at the Jetstar counter tried to take it off me. I refused and he finally gave way.
Australian Customs count the bottle as a full one against your duty free allowance.
The bottle survived the trip and was enjoyed later.
