I think some security checkpoints in FRA have separate lanes for C and F pax, while others don't.
Perhaps someone who regularly connects from Schengen can confirm?
You are correct- majority of flights do not have secondary security.
Passport Control-yes.
BP check at the gate (boarding) and lounge (entrance if eligible).
C and F lanes available at new C gates, A gates, B gates, and the tunnel between B and A (although here it is almost never enforced).
