Domestic flights in the USA don't go through security for connections. The 'airside' area mentioned in the answer is both where you board flights and where you deplane for domestic flights. There's no separate departures and arrival areas airside at US airports as there are in many other countries. You just deplane directly into the same sterile area from which you board flights. In Atlanta, this area is connected for all gates, so going through security isn't required for any domestic connection | |
