Amsterdam airport has had a system in place for years where you can bypass immigration by looking into a retina scanner and have an express lane through security. It takes a one-time thorough check and an annual fee of about €70-€120 depending on additional services (parking place close by, family plan, etc).
I am by no means a frequent traveller but only for a few flights a year that €70 is totally worth it.
Security at AMS has never taken me more than 15 minutes, including the time spent standing in line. When I arrive I just walk on out of the airport without any checks at all, that's for flights from Europe though.
Agreed! AMS is my favorite airport to fly into. When I arrive from outside of Europe the line for border control is rarely more than 5 minutes. Unlike, say, Heathrow.
