You neglected to mention the most important thing about AMS: tulips!
Europe’s great. Transportation near major cities is a breeze. More of my travel was post 9/11 and airport security was solid, and often intimidating - military, dogs, serious automatics.
Oh, yes the tulips and the tulip bulbs which for some reason I always feels like I am smuggling them into the US.
And then there are the KLM Flight Attendants. Simply amazing.
I like the idea of the a bomb sniffing to stand by the skyway as the passengers are boarding. However, those dogs are not 100% accurate and lots of people may have legitimate reasons to have explosive residue on their clothes when they are boarding a plane.
