Sounds like they want you to pay $ 5 fee and get it packaged in the box office, is not it?

Get a large zip-lock bag, large enough to accommodate the bottle, if you can find. Then put it in a cardboard box secured with packing tape.

Honestly, I let them win and pay only $ 5 if it was me. Of course, if you just use your bubbles and clothing, they may not notice or care, but security is a pain in the ass these days, I would not take risks because they want everything and not verify the alcohol at all if they do notice.

During a trip, I went through three security checkpoints with a gun-shaped cigarette lighter and a screwdriver in my bag. It was really stupid, I realized later, but I do not think at the time. Then, on fourth-Security, they have noticed and stopped me and made me miss my plane, so they went through various procedures. I kept telling them: "Look, it's just $ 1 a screwdriver lighter and cheaper. Just throw them and do not make me late for my flight, but they will not let me go.

It was very frustrating. If you decide to deal with them, make sure to leave enough time.
