After 10 minutes of waiting, I knew that this was not going to work and started walking the "wrong way" down the wide hallway I had just come down, back towards the UA gate. That is when a security guard flagged me down (since I was going the "wrong way" and asked me what I was doing. I told them I needed to get back to the UA gate I came from & she directed me to a very small security check point I had walked past with an escalator going up a level (it is right behind the transit desk). Turns out this is for the "transiting" passengers that are going to a different gate in Terminal 1. You go up the escalator and walk back down the same hallway you came from the gate (just up level you did not know was there). You then go down a set of escalators at the end, and you are back in the gate areas (which you could see thru the glass when you deplaned). You will have your BP checked one more time and go thru another security screening and you are set.
