Last week, I flew from Kiev to Paris (Terminal 2B, CDG), and then caught a connecting flight to SLC (Terminal 2E). I was surprised that I had to go through security screening to enter 2E, even though I never left the airport terminal. Fortuanately I had 2 hours between flights, but still just made it. I will soon be doing this flight backwards, coming from SLC (arriving in 2E or 2F, I assume) and then catching a flight to Kiev, possibly in 2B. Do I need to go through security again when traveling from 2E/2F to 2B? My connection is only an hour and I am worried about making it in time.

Yes, and it's like this at all European airports since: US policy requires all passengers to go through an additional security screening on flights to the US; and EU policy requires all inbound passengers from non-EU countries to go through additional security screening before their connecting flight. So is the world of flying these days!

Thanks for the info. Is this just a Paris requirement? when I flew from the US through Amsterdam to Kiev a month ago, I didn't got through a screening process in the AMS airport.
