#7, that you didn't notice anything at Schiphol is because it's only (efficient) for frequent flyers -- you have to enroll at quite a fee. And you must have been quite asleep: If (...when?) you pass Customs, the iris scanning gates are to the side of the Customs desks.
And yes I'm of the posers that have enrolled. It's just great to bypass the long lines at the Customs desks; just enter your smartcard (! that has the biometric template of your, hopefully, two irises), approach the camera with either one eye and in usually only five seconds (not bluffing) it lets you through. It's so quick it makes one concerned how safe it is i.e. whether it checks anything at all ;-)
