Connecting passengers go through a transfer security screening.

Terminals / concourses: Terminal A, Terminal B, Terminal C
Getting between them: Automated People Mover (APM) trains connect the main terminal to satellite airsides 1, 2, 3, and 4; the landside Terminal Link APM train and pedestrian bridge connect Terminals A/B with Terminal C.
Gates 1–59 (Airsides 1 and 3) connect airside via the central transfer area. Transfers between Gates 1–59 and Gates 70–129, or between Terminals A/B and Terminal C, require leaving the secure area and re-clearing TSA security.
The U.S. does not operate outbound passport control booths; airlines inspect passports and documents prior to boarding international flights.
