I think you were unlucky, Karen. For the past year I have flown weekly 
between Amsterdam and Spain (plus other trips to assorted other places), 
and I have not once had a problem carrying my Samsonite pilot case with 
computer, papers etc., and a small Domke bag with my cameras. And of 
course, by the time I get to the plane, I usually have a 3rd bag 
containing various liquid purchases from the tax-free shops :-)

The airlines involved have been Transavia (subsidiary of KLM), KLM, 
Iberia and TAP Air Portugal.
