What would be the point of reverse screening? Obviously the aircraft landed without an explosion. If it's just to prevent the unexploded device from entering the country, they already have Customs inspections for that.

And if there is reverse screening and they find a prohibited item, what do they do? Send pax back to Europe to check the item? Fine the security service of the other country?
