As a brief diversion from all things USA, I have a question about AMS which isn't really off-topic as a lot of NCL people either go there or transfer through it.
My question is about my return trip BKK-AMS-NCL.
Obviously at BKK you have to go through the normal security to get airside and onto the plane.
So how come at AMS when you remain airside to transit straight through to NCL do you have to go through more security (x-rays etc) as soon as you get off the plane before you can even get into the terminal building??
Do they not trust any other airport's security?
