As far as going back through security again, it doesn't matter where you come in, when you land at your first airport in the US, you have to go back through security.

It's been a long time since we've stayed in Cancun. Does Cancun have TSA precheck now? As otherwise, I think any person has to clear TSA again, coming from out of the country.

When I said TSA precheck, I meant preflight clearance, but said it wrong. That is odd, not having to go back through security again in some places, as I have always been told it was mandatory whenever you first set foot in the US and it's been our experience always. As I said, it's been a LONG time since we've flown to Cancun though, so don't remember it.

Leave from SJU or STT into ATL(DL) or CLT(AA/US) and no Customs and Border Patrol or TSA in arrival airports. We did both Jun and July respectively in 2014.
Buy duty free in both, continue as carry-on on connecting flight! as no TSA check on USA landslide.
Not the case in CUN. did that dec 2013 into ATL. You have to clear USA CPB and TSA arriving ATL. Could have duty free booze bought after CUN security , but only if ending in ATL. If connecting, you would have to place in checked baggage, couldn't be carry- as more than 3oz 100ml rule.
JPH I spent my money on booze, broads, and boats...the rest I wasted.

Actually, that situation happens often in various places, just depending on whether there are flight delays, etc.

That is the problem. You have one light arrive 30 minutes early and the another flight 30 minutes late and you dump 500 people into customs at the same time. They will not staff for those kind of peaks. If you do a lot of international travel global entry is your best friend.

Right, they have to staff based on what a normal load is supposed to be, although some places do appear to be perpetually understaffed. ..and then there is always the issue of 'no room at the inn'--no international gate available, so you sit in the plane on the tarmac for 45 minutes because there is no available gate. But that's another issue. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Crazy.gif" alt="" />
