Klm uses departure hall 2, but it ultimately wouldnt matter? Even if you end on the schengen side, you could simple walk to the left after security to end up in the right part.

Correct, you could go through schengen security and then walk to the passport control to exit schengen on the otehr side. Theoretically you could even use the passport control for transfering passengers if you end up in the schengen area by accident or see a line that is way too long. Alternative is indeed departures 3, but a skyteam elite will only be able to use priority security in departures 2 if walking through the skypriority checkin area and take the escalator up to security
