I'm not sure but it would make sense if their international gates with C+I didn't make you go thru TSA again. I haven't flown JB from SXM since they opened them and the arrival at 4 was a pia if you had a connection but JFK was my home airport so it didn't matter to me where we cleared.
The problem in every airport where I've ever cleared customs and immigration is that you have access to your checked baggage in order to go through customs. You can remove items which are not allowed in carry-on bags (liquids, etc.) and put them in your purse or carry-on. That's just one reason why clearing TSA security again is necessary.
