Nobody checked ours on arrival last week. 1 ltr spirits per person is the legal allowance, although when departing Dalaman, guy on Duty free till tried to encourage me to buy more than the 2 we were paying for. He had a selection of spirits at his till and asked if we'd like "extra" bottles

Suitcases are scanned on arrival, cabin bags are not scanned as there is no scanner in arrivals hall.

We were not scanned when we came in last week. However when we came in January (landed at domestic terminal but collected hold baggage at international terminal) we had both hold and hand luggage scanned. There is now a scanner on the left hand side just as you depart arrivals.

I think the scanner has been there for yonks but I have never seen it used.
We took 9L between 2 of us in last month. Good job we had wheels on our hand luggage.  ;)
