Yes, that's been my experience on international flights, too. I was
responding to the remark about travelling in the USA; i.e., domestic
flights. Having a connection from one flight to another within the USA
seldom requires traversing the security perimeter. So you could travel, as
I recently did, from Salt Lake City to Phoenix to Dallas, changing planes
in Phoenix, without having to have your hand baggage rescanned. My travel
experience over the past 35 years has been that domestic air travel almost
always (with a few unpleasant exceptions) requires hand baggage scanning at
the departure point only.
