Going through *transit* security is a mess. The location and procedures are poorly thought out. You get double-tapped for passport check. Plus, everyone gets thoroughly frisked even if the metal directors dont flag you, causing long delays. There were 20 people in front of me, which equaled about 25 minutes in line. After the transit line fiasco, I arrived at my gate at exactly 730 for a 730 China air flight, and EVERYONE was long gone--the plane sitting there and then taxied off. My gate was down a long corridor, so even from a great distance away I could tell NO ONE was there. No announcement, no final call, nothing. I rebooked for the next day, but the above would not have happened in other airports.
