Have not been through FRA in the past year so I am wondering if the security protocal has changed for connecting flights??

In my past experience every UA and LH flight arriving from SFO (non-schengen) was required to reclear security before accessing the non-schengen departure area. Needless to say this could be problematic when you had a 1-hour connection! But now I read that you do not have to clear security when flight arrives from USA. Is that correct?

Err, never mind I see per post #791 that things have not really changed, at least as of August 2011: The downside is that as of now you will always have to re-clear security if arriving non-Schengen, except at Pier A. Alas my flights always arrive at B or C.
