I too have flown into CVG from Europe. That was a few years back but after 9-11. You clear U.S. customs upon arrival but at the time TSA was no where to be seen. Granted you have to transit a secure area to get to the main terminal and the exit, but so do domestic travelers whether they are transferring to another flight, or have arrived at their final destination. In either case they don't have to deal with the TSA unless they exit the security area and want to return. I'm perplexed as to why TSA treats arriving international passengers differently. Am I missing something here?
If everyone did this do you know what the bureaucrats would do?

We need a few hundred other patriots taking similar actions. Knowledge of the Constitution, current law, and respectful attitude being prerequisites.
Hey we got a lax physical border with Mexico, why would flying in be any different.
I just returned from Europe last Friday, and went through customs in Chicago. All international arrivals go through their isolated Terminal 5. You go through customs, which I was able to do by answering one or two brief questions, and then pick up your luggage. If you have a connecting flight, which I did, you can re-check your luggage without a lot of issues. After Customs and re-checking luggage in Terminal 5, I boarded a train to another terminal, where I once again had to go through security. Aside from the basic metal detectors and removal of shoes, belts and laptops, I wasn't asked to do anything unusual. No Backscatter machines or pat-downs.

Can anyone justify TSA inspection of people leaving flights? Trying to leave the airport? Who were already scanned before boarding the flight? Who have already cleared immigration and custom controls?
How are these people going to bomb a plane without passing back through security?
This has degenerated into a pure power play by the TSA.
Bravo!
I’m always interested in seeing someone trying to prove a point. I’m also interested in the truthfulness of the account; difficult for me to believe one would go to these lengths after an international flight just because they had time to kill. What the author doesn’t seem to consider are the consequences and he apparently has never heard of the “no-fly list”. And next time there may be no question of having his delicate genitals touched, because they’re going to have to pull them out of the way for the body cavity search.
We are progressively turning in the Soviet Union of American Socialist States. It’s a bloody outrage. F’em, I refuse to fly!
You haven’t flow out of France, I see.
My assumption is that leaving the international concourse you’re dumped onto a domestic one, and when you enter a domestic concourse, you have to be screened. The issue (if there is one) seem to have more to do with the airport layout than anything else - e.g. only certain gates being able to accommodate larger aircraft.
When you arrive from an international flight, you have to pick up your baggage BEFORE going though customs. Looking at the link, the security check is required for those that are continuing on connecting flights but since they are co-mingled with those that are leaving the airport, all are checked.

The NKI has a different layout. Connecting passengers go through security right after their incoming customs checks. Exiting passenger go through that same portal. Exiting passengers leave the secure area at some point AFTER they get rechecked.

White House: Terrorists Have Discussed Use of Prosthetics to Conceal Explosives
Why don’t the Feds target members of the religion of peace for searches? I wish the Feds would answer that simple question. Oh, I forgot! Americans are the terrorists and the terrorists are really peaceful.
