Why leave from Amsterdam? What was he doing in Amsterdam? Was he in Yemen or Narobi before Amsterdam?

I think he flew from the UAE (??) to Amsterdam on KLM, then onto Detroit on Northwest. Northwest and KLM are airline partners, and their US destination flights which originate in the UAE all go through Amsterdam. I've taken the same flight a few times when I lived in the UAE.

Is Northwest personnel the most lax in Amsterdam? Or are the other airlines leaving from there any better or worse?

They were pretty serious in 2002, since then there wasn't much inspection for in transit passengers in Amsterdam. The place to catch this guy is when he originally boarded the plane. And the UAE has always been lax (based on my experience) in checking out passengers. Flights from Vegas to San Francisco have a lot more inspection than international flights out of the UAE.
