So from IAD-PTY-BOG there would be no security check in PTY at all? Just walk from one gate to the next?

Normally I would be very worried about a 75-minute international-to-international connection but from everything I've read it sounds like it's not a big deal at PTY. I'm just so used to connecting in places like NRT or TPE where you need to clear security even for international-to-international connections.

Yeah, that connection should be no problem. When you walk off the IAD flight you will be right in the terminal. Just head over to your next gate, and you'll be able to get on the flight to BOG. Should be no problem.
Of course on the way back there will be an additional security screening at the gate. So don't buy any bottles of water or anything like that because they will take them during that screening.
