Not, I would have thought, a good idea if you are likely to go abroad for a holiday.........immigration and then customs could have quite a time getting their own back!
.
What an amusing thought.
'Why have you got more than 100 ml's of that up your bottom Sir'?

Security Checks
Having read all the posts about the dangers from the glass in a bottle of alcohol am I being dense or would it not be better for duty free purchases to be bought upon arrival thereby removing the danger of the glass but also the danger from litre upon litre of inflammable spirit being carried on aircraft

Not sure of whether your suggestion is possible, but it will never happen simply because it is far, far, far too sensible.
Bear in mind that airport management live in the land of the stupid, thinking only stupidity, and what new stupid ideas they can inflict on pax.

Not having a good day are you 10 ?
I think you'll find that the majority of people, having arrived at their destination airport, just want to get their bags and go. That's possibly why arrivals areas usually have just a coffee shop and newsagents for the meeters and greeters ?
It makes sense to have the shopping on departure because there will always be "dwell time" as up to 300 or more pax have to be processed one way or the other ( check in, security etc ) before the HA do all their checks prior to boarding.
Having been delayed for 5 hours in Lisbon with plenty of shops, and 4 hours in Monastir with b*gg*r all shops, I know which experience was preferable.
