I've done the same day turn at BQN before. When you exit the plane down the stairs, they have people directing you to the exit and baggage claim toward the right. Ask them to direct you to the gate area, which is on the left and you won't have to clear TSA security there. Be sure you have a paper boarding pass.

As jbeckett said, you will be getting back on the same plane. It will be the same crew too. They see a lot of these turns this time of year. You will probably have others doing the same on your flight.
