HNL used to offer sterile airside transit for quite some time.

I don't recall what year it was eliminated (I am guessing after 9/11).

FWIW, I've travelled through HNL as an international transit passenger. I was allowed to deplane, was kept in a sterile transit zone, and re-boarded the aircraft without having to clear security. This was ~1995.

HNL does have a limited facility / infrastucture for intl sterile airside transit, but cannot use it any longer thanks to new US laws.
