I've never ever seen more than 1 or 2 people at transit security.

Did the flight yesterday and it was mostly as you describe, except that we boarded buses to the main terminal and I was connecting to a Swiss flight to BCA so I didn't claim any baggage.
Transit security was very light. Shoes stayed on and I suspect laptops could have stayed in my bag as well...
