Catching a Flight? Budget Hours, Not Minutes, for Security

I wonder if it's a case like domestic terminal -> international terminal without any post-security options to move between the two.

I do know that flying _back_ to the US on my last few international flights, there was a second security checkpoint I had to go through. Very silly. I had filled my water bottle at a fountain at the gate and then had to empty it right out 5 minutes later.

Whenever you transfer at different security zones, you have to go through security again. So I fly threw Japan a lot, and always have to recheck (but they are pretty fast). I'm connecting through Moscow next week to get to Europe, and I'm dreading Russian security a bit (it's pretty fast, they don't actually check much, but very disorganized).

I think the theory with this is many foreign countries don't do sufficient checks.

Based on travelling in south America, south East Asia etc, this is sometimes correct.
