"Ummm dude, are you really a pilot? You wouldn't see the TSA untill you reported for your flight back OUT of the country.
The TSA has absolutely ZERO to do with arriving passengers."
Try arriving in MEM on NW57(?) at gate B34 and then start taking your shoes/belt buckles off by order of a TSA agent AFTER you've done the Customs/Immigration bit. Doesn't matter if your trip terminates in MEM or you are continuing onwards, you get it all the same.
