AMS has had its problems with terrorism in the recent past. I'm talking about killings in town, not the airport. I'm going there tomorrow. Makes you think twice about eating in those great outdoor seating restaurants.

it will be interesting to see what comes out of this. the good thing now about people flying is that everyone is more in tune with whats going on.
