I recently (in the past month) flew back into the US from a couple of places:
Guadalajara --> Houston: no security besides customs & immigration
São Paulo --> Houston: no security besides customs & immigration
Brussels --> JFK: no security besides customs & immigration
(sort of off topic, but the thing that's been really annoying me lately is when you are forced -- due to the airport's layout -- to leave the secure area when transferring between terminals. This, coupled with gate areas that don't have arrival/departure boards, is freaking annoying.)
- WildUtah 16y agoI flew Mexico City-SLC this month and there was no security beyond customs and immigration. My memory of IAH last year from Mexico City is that full TSA screening was required, but that was before backscatter machines. One more data point. These may be useful for someone looking to enter the USA on a direct flight.
- brc 16y agoI flew Sydney-LAX last month and no extra security at the SYD gate. In past years doing the same flight there has been extra security, liquid checks, and random pat downs at the gate, and only for US bound flights. It seems as though the other countries/airlines/airports are either ignoring the TSA requests or there has been a change in policy, given the amount of people who have been saying the same thing.
