I know it's Europe, which is extremely different to the USA, although with
our Schengen agreement, it's starting to become like the States, but I
flew to Sweden via Denmark from Amsterdam at the weekend and on the
outbound flight and in the inbound flight, I never had ID checked once.
The first time was where I just put my amex into a machine, got my
boarding pass and walked onto the plane, the 2nd I jsut gave my booking
number, got my boarding pass and again onto the plane...
I hope they are a little more stringent now, indeed Amsterdam Schiphol is
refusing to carry unaccompanied bags.
