Seriously, that is the tightest security I have experienced anywhere in the world. Then, before the flight, I hike back over to A63 and had to clear security yet again.

In most other sane airports, transiting from one INTL flight to another requires no security checks. In FRA, it takes 2 of them, 1 of which is quite thorough!
The sad part is.. even with all of that security hassle, it's STILL better than LHR for transiting.
