It is done via a 3 layer system using different concourses. So Schengen is concourse B, C and part of D, clean non Schengen (which includes UK and USA) on concourses D (most parts), E and F and non Schengen-not clean. The latter end up on G and can be screen before going towards the other concourses if the arriving passenger isn't going landside.
