Isn't that the best solution for them (putting people to sleep for the flight)? I'm still waiting to see what will happen when someone plays a terrorist by:

- using broken glass bottle (can be bought in the duty-free area)

- breaking one-time shaving razor you can buy on the airport and making a DIY knife

- stealing kitchen utensils from bars at the airport

- putting lighter gas into a small perfume container which you can take onboard, making spark from a normal battery, using some flamable spray to get more fuel

- disassembling some on board electric device (even stuff like lights) and warning to short it (that should cause some serious panic even if it's pretty safe in reality... who's actually aware of separate circuits?)

etc. at some point, people will start to realise that there are so many dangerous items on the airport itself, you don't need to bring anything with you. What will the TSA limit then?

Duty free shops will only be available when you land.

Duty free shops would object. A lot. And they're "more important" than travellers in some ways (i.e. they will be heard if they object).
