Is there some sound security rationale, or merely another attempt at 
seeing just how much shit passengers are willing to accept, for 
connecting passengers being led out of the controlled arrivals area, so 
that they can walk 5 yards through an uncontrolled space[1] just so that 
they can spend half an hour in a queue[2] to go through security 
screening to enter the controlled departure space?

[1]Ditching all liquids of course[3]
[2]Thanks to the utterly shit conveyor system that moves the trays 
around but seems to be jammed more often than it is functional.
[3]These would be the liquids that were provided on the previous flight. 
Does that mean that an duty free purchases would also be ditched?
