When you arrive in the US on an international flight and go through passport controls and customs, you alway exit landside from the Federal Inspection Facility and must clear TSA security before going back airside. You can clear TSA security at TBIT and go airside to T7 (there is a map in the wikipost), however, it will be much faster landside. It shouldn't take you more than 15-20 minutes to walk from TBIT to T7; I recommend walking on the upper level to avoid second-hand cigarette smoke, vehicle exhaust fumes and lots of reverberating traffic noise.
