Are there airports in Europe that don't force trans-Atlantic passengers to go through security checkpoint again to board their connecting (intra-Europe) flight? Does anyone know if AMS does this? What about FRA? MUC? ZRH?
This makes a big difference for connection time required!
Don't you have to collect your bags when you go through passport control at European airports like you do in the US? If you come into contact with your bags, you have to be rescreened.
