Only departing, not connecting. Definitely applies to international, and probably Schengen also, but very rarely fly AMS to Schengen countries so can't be sure.
If I am to exclude connections, I've only ever departed AMS about three times in my entire life, so I'll leave this to others to comment on.
But I do agree with
sbm12, this security thing is a total farce...Last year, PRG had no security controls between Int'l (security at the gate) and Schengen terminals (central security) for around 3 months. You could just go through passport control, walk across to the other terminal and literally enter the plane with a bazooka in your carryon and nobody would notice (at least as long as you could fit it in the overhead bin).
Nothing happened. Terrywrists have long moved on to softer targets.
