A foreigner man knifed woman in Oslo Norway (Police suspect terrorism)

[Finnish Swede]

But he went to Norway through Sweden. That's what I'm not surprised over.

Okey.

Well...traveling from Russia to Norway ... Sweden is between. If one will not take direct flight to Oslo (which is the most expensive way) ... it is quite natural to travel via Sweden.

Even so. It shows how easy anyone can step foot in Sweden. The airport security in Amsterdam or Zurich is quite harsher than the one in Arlanda.

I can concur that airport security here in Amsterdam is quite strict: I usually get checked at least 3 times.

When I went to live in Sweden 5 years ago, I had to take a connecting flight in Amsterdam. I didn't bring much cash with me nor had any hotel booked in my name since I was going to stay with my father. On top of that my Swedish passport was outdated since I couldn't bother going to the Swedish embassy. As a result, I entered EU territory with my Brazilian passport. The security called me in to a room to explain the situation, lol. When I showed them my Swedish passport it was all fine, but I'd risk being deported if I were not Swede or had not carried my (then outdated) pass.

Well, you were entering the EU using your non-EU passport and without a visa. That could have brought you into trouble so you were lucky that you also brought your Swedish pass. It's a good idea to keep both passes updated.

Brazilians don't need visas to enter into EU countries, but they usually want some justification for the travel and proof of that. A booked hotel, some cash or a formal letter from a relative or friend. I updated my Swedish pass as soon as I arrived. I updated my Brazilian pass before entering Brazil so I wouldn't need to go through the same experience.

I didn't know that Brazilians didn't need visas to enter the EU. I hate to be blunt here but the EU's visa politics leave something to be desired for as one should be extremely selective in which countries should receive visa-free access (less their could be abuse). Now, it wouldn't hurt you, as a Swedish citizen, of course but people could abuse the current privileges.
