Do they check BP when going from A to Z?

This is not my own question but I'd be interested to know the answer.

An FTer would like to meet a friend without a Schengen visa during his layover in FRA. The friend is likely to arrive in B (or Z) and depart from Z to JFK both on LH. If the FTer purchases a fully refundable ticket to a Schengen destination departing from A, will he be able to enter Z from A without a BP for a flight departing from Z?

I know access to Pier A is controlled by BP scanners. How about going from A to Z since I have no personal experience? In addition to passport control do they check BPs?
