There is an existing tunnel for arriving international passengers to walk from T4 to the Federal Inspection Facility in TBIT. I believe that it was reopened last year after having been closed for a while. The new above ground connector building does not have a sterile corridor to separate international arrivals on their way to customs and immigration from other passengers.
