Still, vis-a-vis PTY and SAL it seems a pointless exercise and needless hassle.
They don't have local flights (there's a whole other airport for that) so the extra security model adds little.
It's the same procedure in GUA. I'm not sure about places like SAP, TGU or MGA if anyone comes across a transit in one of those particular airports.
