C-Dog,
she really did you a favor! It's the same procedure in all airports within Europe. You get in with liquids over 100 ml from outside Europe, its for the garbage bin when you transfer to a Intra-European flight.
Learned it the hard way from Russia via MUC. The difference is that they told me in St. Petersburg, that I can get through as they are using the same sealed bags you get when you buy duty free inside Europe. Well, the guys in MUC had a totally different opinion
