Boring? Not for me. That place is a shopping mall on steroids and good sushi to boot!
As for security, some but not all U.S. bound flights have body scanners. Two weeks ago the scanner at my gate was not yet installed. Everyone was patted down and all bags were manually searched after x-ray. Pretty painless and professional.
Also, be sure to walk all the way to your conecting gate prior to shopping. You want to make sure you have passed through your immigration line. Some times the wait can be quite long(30 minutes or more). A few of those terminals are a long walk.
