That is definitely NOT always the case at MUC for US-bound, US-operated carriers. The screening equipment in the last many months has been shut off in the gate area or even partially dismantled it appears sometimes. One is either directed to walk through the turned off WTMD before the gate area, or directed around it.
And the flights don't even all leave from that gate area anymore; often they leave from the middle gate area where there are no secondary screening machines.
