I've entered the US through SeaTac, MSP, ATL, and SFO. In each of those, I never encountered TSA checkpoints until a connecting flight. If it is the final destination of your flight, you do not interact with TSA at all (unless you scream bomb in the airport or something).
Agreed. I've entered via SFO, SJC, ATL, JFK, LGA, MIA, HOU, and DFW and it's only CBP at the customs & immigration check... then onward to baggage rescan & TSA security checkpoint.
