1 liter = 1000 ml
so if 1 L = 1000ml x2 = 2000 L
Transportation Security Administration
http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/permitted-prohibited-items.shtm
Carry on
Non-flammable liquid, gel, or aerosol paint Yes - 3 oz. or smaller container
So if
1 liter = 33.8 US ounces
That like a hell over the limits.
I would have to agree on hard to believe but possible.

they didnt look in any of my bags. went through customs answered questions, ran bags through scanner. no search. i dont know about those rules because i also walked on the plane with a philly cheesesteak and large coke.
i lied though, cracked open teh crown royal and it was 750mL, not 1L. my bad. the johnny walker is 1L tho.
