I do it all the time (travelling as an American). At most they ask me how long. I say "in transit" but it's faster to transfer terminals often times than waiting in the long line at Flight Transfers. They stamp my passport and occassionally hand write-in IT on the corner of the stamp. When I have a boarding pass for my onward flight, I show it to them; when I don't, I show them a printout of my itinerary. It's never been an issue. And in any even, what are they going to do? Send you back to flight transfers?
