Let's say I have a direct flight from San Francisco (SFO) to London (LHR), with no checked luggage.

I buy a bottle of expensive alcohol post-security at SFO, but my flight gets cancelled and I get re-routed via New York (JFK). All of a sudden I have to change terminals at JFK and clear security, with the stuff I bought at SFO.

Am I right thinking that my options at that point are either to discard the expensive bottle, or be prepared to check it in at JFK (allow extra time, carry a bag with sufficient padding etc)?

Does the fact that the change of route was effectively imposed upon me by the airline change anything?
