All the same Dogs, I don't think they can bust ya for smelling like you just blew out of a bong ;-)
Take me, par example. I've made an unfortunate habit of rolling up the accumulated leftovers from my weekend excursions in to a series of spliffs that wind up getting burned on the morning of my departure in the following fashion:
1. Before boarding the tram to CS
2. Before boarding the train to Schipol
3. In the parking lot outside Schipol before going through security
By the time I finally do make it to security, I think it's awfully clear what I've been up to :) But hey, it's like that movie, Saving Private Ryan...leave no man behind / leave no bud behind!
Keep in mind, this is coming from the same person that once--completely sober on the way TO amsterdam--missed the train stop for Centraal Station from Schipol (yes, I sat there for 10 minutes as everyone exited the train and new people boarded) then wound up back at Amsterdam Sloterdijk for 20 minutes before coming on BACK to CS. Trippus Interruptus maximus. I think I work better high! To each their own of course :-)
Cheers~

"I try not to party too much on the morning of my return trip. I always worry that I'm going to detonate a drug dog just from the smell of my clothes and skin."--- DogsAfire
If you think the dogs are bad, just wait untill they get the Bee's trained. Bee's are the up-comming drug detention tool in the USA. They are easier to train, cheaper to keep and work harder than a dog.
They are training Bee's to associate specific chemical scents with a food source. The bee's simply land on the source of the molocules and then get a sugary reward. They will be releasing thousands of bees into the airport and they seek out scent molocules and land on them.
So if you are desperate enough to have something tucked in your shorts, you might want to wear a jockstrap and a cup in the future. And if you go in reaking of pot before your plane ride, you might want to wear a Bee-keepers outfit.

The wife and I will be traveling the evening of the 15th and arriving in Amsterdam early on the 16th. We're staying until Tuesday morning and will be hanging about, trying to look as if we know what we're doing. I'm quite sure we'll bump into each other several times since our schedules seem to intersect. Hope you have as good a time as we're planning on having!
We're open to any suggestions, warnings, recommendations, etc... Specifically regarding food, as my wife is a Vegetarian (former Vegan, but no longer as strict). We love to eat almost as much as everything else we are looking forward to over there, so I'm sure we'll find a way to feed her... Thanks!

If I wind up with leftover dope, upon leaving I usually leave it in the hotel room for housekeeping to find.

The most recent increased security measure I've encountered has been a new device at Boston's Logon airport. It's a cube shaped metal device surrounded by glass you walk in to, and then high pressure air is sprayed all over your body. Analysis of the air determines if you're carrying explosives, narcotics, etc.
Crazy.
I'll try and find an article describing it better to follow up with!
Cheers,

That simply must be the line you used to pick up all the ladies at the bar with? ;-)
"Baby, I like to live....dangerously!"
I see how you may have earned the name Dogs-a-fire, now!
Cheers friend,

We're into smoking some quality bud, eating some mushrooms and trying different kinds of hash. Also into fine ladies, looking forward to being massaged, taking in all the sights and experiencing this place before it disappears (you never know when your country will get snatched away from you by people with an agenda... but of course, I'm an American and a little biased on the subject).
Our expectations are for the weather to be cold and the bud to be sticky. Everything after that is gravy. Our only real restrictions at this point are the dates we'll be there and my wife's diet (she's a vegetarian). What we'd REALLY like, tho, would be a strip club where we could smoke. Dunno if that combo exists, but I'm certainly willing to look!

green planet is indeed a great tip for vegetarians. anatol, the austrian owner / chef comes up with a daily special for 9.90euros , full details of which are usually on his website (which is updated most days). he opens around 4 in the afternoon wed-sun.
another good vegetarian option would be bettys which i think is on rijnstraat. you also have de bolhoed on prinsengracht but this is not the best food ever.
doog!
