I guess I was just saying I didn't mind waiting 20 minutes to be able to drop my bags off on the other side of security, see what the lounge looks like, and have a free shower. But if the consensus is that this is a security problem, then maybe I won't even try.
HND airport is segregated for Departure vs Arrival, that 1 floor is purely departure and another for arrival. One cannot go from Departure to Arrival without extra help.
The complete opposite is SIN, that arrival and departure is blended together and security is conducted at gate.
