I don't follow this part of your post.
Yes, upon arrival from an international flight, you don't arrive in the sterile area of the domestic airport, but my point is that the US government has exported some of its collective insanity about airport security to foreign governments. And, of course, those foreign governments are always free to adopt, on their own accord, some of the ridiculous dog and pony aspects of our airport security wisdom.
