AMS seems to be have drastically sized up their security, it also helps that both Schengen and non-Schengen effectively use the same security now even though you get routed differently but end up in the same area post security. I also see them trust their security equipment more, AMS used to be one of few airports where my carry-on luggage would get additional screening 99,99999999% of the time but that has stopped since about a year ago and they just go through. I could never figure out why, it didn't in other airports but their more paranoid attitude caused more delays in security. These days you see much fewer luggage getting routed for additional manual inspection.

Now if they could only do the same on transfer security it would be an even better airport.
