In 2004 Schiphol was also unpleasantly surprised. In promoting the artist manifestation The Great Gala of Terrorism yellow bags were printed with the print: SEE FLY DIE. The threat of a law suit was enough to have these bags replaced with the real SEE BUY FLY bags.

The slogans were too much alike, and in the advertisement unjust reference was being made to Schiphol’s slogan. A prohibition with coercive measures followed.
