It's not just T5 though. I was somewhere else recently, can't remember
where[1]. Same story, off one flight, onto another but having to go
through security/x-ray/frisk/shoes, belt, everything off/anal probe etc.
I didn't have any liquids but noticed they all had to be dumped. So I've
no idea what happens to stuff you may have bought on the plane.
