US might consider this a legal connection, but I would prepare for the worst. Hope the arriving flight is early, CBP is empty, and the departing flight is late.
I think the walk to F would not only be outside security (you can walk to E airside) but outside as in outdoors, in the heat/rain/whatever, and looooong. MAYBE you can make it indoors, but I dont think so. I would leave A, walk towards or into the B/C combined ticket area and check out those lines -- you can see the B line from the sidewalk as you're walking up from A, you have to walk further to see the C line. I'd either reclear at B/C or take a cab straight to F. I wouldn't walk to F. Too painful. If you have the time to walk to F, you have the time to sit in the A line, IMHO.
