Then you walk backwards thru the security checkpoint, go downstairs and pass thru immigration as normal.
Coming back you just go back in thru security/immigration again.

Very easy, no eyebrows raised.
Exactly my experience. This can be a great alternative to clearing immigration right away if lines are long and/or it's during the morning crowding at The Arrival.
