Sorry if I seem to be questioning anything above, but I find it amazing that leaving the US on an international flight can be so straightforward at the moment. Is IAD unique in any way for this ?.
Yup. As it's a domestic-international CNX, you'll already be airside and security cleared. There won't be a 1hr queue à la MAN style, but of course, the normal lineup to board. Mind you, they do have the right to pull you over to do a secondary. So, don't be the first to board.
IAD is not unique. it is the same for all flights leaving the US (and most other airports, I believe). (If you ever end up landside, then you have to reclear security.)
