A little off topic, but this is definitely not the case at ATL. There is no
separate line for connecting and terminating pax---but it is the exact opposite of LAX. At ATL, everyone has to go back through security, even if all you want to do is get to the curb. Definitely high on the list of brilliant design decisions at Hartsfield-Jackson.
