Now what exactly makes you think you are the only one who thought of that?

Each time I do that I get nervous when passing the departure-screens saying "boarding closing", thinking I'm too late. That'll keep most people from showing up really late.

Every time I do it I find that there is still a line. Never ever have I seen somebody show up exactly at the moment the lines cleared.

By the way: this is my main objection to AMS. The security checks at the gate...

I agree 100%...

It was also my only objection to AMS.

Well, that and the lousy catering in the KLM lounges.
