Yes...but not all. The UK only just (re-?)introduced checks on departure.

Yes, and that is still done. There's an exit check done by KMar and a travel document check at the gate by the airline.

Fun times to come, not because of security or the KMar but our douane is going to perform a 100% baggage check this comming monday and tuesday on pax having AMS as a final destination.
Expect to see this happening again every 3-4 weeks, that's until they have a new 'CAO'

From what I read this will only be followed in the morning hours - afternoon/evening arrivals should theoretically be fine.
We'll see - I'll be arriving monday (early) evening.

The protests have been rescheduled to July 6th between 7 and 11 AM. During this period every arriving suitcase will be manually searched. Expect huge queues..

From a Privium e-mail:
"Although the security process has been changed, the construction works aren’t finished yet. For Privium members, we are still working on the following facilities:
Departure Hall 2
• ClubLounge and check-in desks (1st floor): a Privium gate will be installed in front of the escalator to the Priority waiting area.
• Security checks (2nd floor): the entrance to the Priority waiting area currently only has boarding card readers. We will be installing a Privium gate here and your Privium Card will then provide fast access to the Priority waiting area.
Departure Hall 3
• Check-in desks (1st floor): at the rear of desk row 23, you will find the entrance to the security checks on the right. We will be installing a Privium gate at this Priority entrance.
• Security checks (2nd floor): we will be installing boarding card readers and a Privium gate at the entrance to the Priority waiting area. Your Privium Card will then provide fast access to the Priority waiting area.
The Privium gates at all the border passages are now operational. However, some of the Privium gates may occasionally be out of service due to construction work. We would ask for your understanding should you experience any inconvenience as a result. "

Mixed bag this morning at departures 2. First 10 minutes of standing in front of a closed off section. 4 staff members present, no scanners operated though. Then re-routes to another section and went through in 8 minutes. Considering its quite busy today, the 8 minutes was okay. The waiting at the closed off section was annoying though. Add 3 minutes for passport check.

Priority took me 12 minutes today in terminal 2. This was due to the lack of trays at first and then due to the huge amount of manual inspections. Passport took an additional 3 minutes.

Busy Sunday at Schiphol around 11:30 but priority security at T2 was a breeze. Non-priority lines seemed manageable.
From curb side drop-off through immigration (Privium) in under 5 minutes.
Very interestingly, KLM (for CZ) did not check passport at the gate

Customs officers inspected all arriving passengers at Schiphol yesterday between 06:00 and 10:00. Processing times were as long as an hour.
