I must have misread your post. I cannot agree that FRA is a logical airport unless you are connecting between Schengen and (mostly) US flights within T1. Once you step on the Skyline train you are no longer “clean” and you will have to re-clear security (as well as passport control) before your connecting flight. In ZRH you can remain “clean” if transferring from A to E via the Skymetro with only passport control before boarding the train.
