Indeed - and isn't the "problem" only because of terrorists/terrorism? In a simple life, airside should be airside and you should just be able to transfer from one flight to another irrespective of the start of your journey since you would have been security checked before being allowed onto your first flight of your overall journey. I suggest that it's only because of paranoia that some countries wish to security check every passenger boarding in their country since they do not trust prior checks in other countries.
