Few years back we had a layover in Panama. The way there we didn't have to

go through any security. We got off the plane and stayed in the terminal area, got on the next plane and took off. The way back we did the same thing but they setup some weird temporary security thing right there in the terminal. We had to walk out our gate, on the other side of some rope, and go through security again just to get to the same gate we just deplaned from. If you wanted to use the bathroom then you had to go through security all over. It was a very odd setup.
