When you go Schengen to US, you don’t have to go through security, but you do get a screening at the gate.
Two or three years ago at least for no security for flights from US/CANADA. There's not been gate screening in at least that long. All security is centralized. Either main checkpoint or transfer if not coming from EU/US/CANADA.

Even DL flights no longer have the pre-departure checks from AMS.
