Australian Customs regard opened alcohol as part of your 2.25 litre allowance. My bags were opened by Australian Customs on my last two trips back from Bali.

Last year, the security guard working in front of the Jetstar Checkin counter tried to make me surrender my opened alcohol in my checked in luggage. I stood my ground and argued that it was wrapped in bubble wrap with the top sealed with sticky tape. He relented and let me through.

This year, the security guard working in front of the Jetstar Checkin counter left me alone after I assured him that I was not carrying matches, fuel etc in my bag.
