Once you clear customs at DFW, are you forced outside of the security area or can you connect/use SkyLink/go to another gate without having to re-enter through security?

Thanks in advance.

I arrived lately in DFW ex FRA and just after the arrivals is the bag recheck area. From there you go upstairs via an escalator to a security checkpoint. If you are lucky it´s not much crowded (never waited more than 15 min). After the security you go right hand side until you reach the escalator up to the skytrain. It´s bi-directional and the longest ride take about 12 min !

Have fun
