The liquids aspect of this sounds like a pain to enforce. At least in the US, the initial security screening (before you get to the gates) is supposed to filter out all liquids (over 3oz.), but once you're through security, you can buy gallons of drinks, etc. from the stores in the terminal. Thoroughly inspecting those liquids at the gate without advanced equipment sounds really difficult.
