According to the media here in NL, it's not expected that security will be the problem this year, but baggage handling (although it seems KLM are OK on this front; they apparently have managed to lure over a lot of workers from the other baggage handlers by paying more)
The "delays" have never really impacted those travelling in Business Class as you can use the SkyPriority check-in area and the Priority security line.
Agree, even in the worst of times last year the Priority lane always helped me to be through everything in 20 min. The issue I faced where the cumulative flight delays and for this, cancelled flights with additional overnight stays. As for luggage - not sure if the risk on AWOL is greater if you book through overnight, or that you check the luggage in again the next day. If there is a capacity problem in luggage handling both routes may be affected.
