I flew from finland to germany yesterday and had the same experience. Checked in online, didn't wait in any lines, and never had to show an ID in the process. I am american, and did not even have to enter my passport details into the online checkin.

Yeah this is normal. What you cannot bypass is the security check where they look for weapons and such things.
That’s probably because both countries are in the Schengen area.
Yes but try flying from California to NY without having an uncomfortable TSA experience.
I did exactly that earlier this week, and it took me less than 10 minutes from arriving at the airport to sitting on my flight.
