I think the rules are as long as you have an ongoing ticket ALREADY, it should be good to go.
If you have to go all the way through the airport, and and recheck everything, how can they determine you never left the airport? If you were t have an ongoing ticket, and were already in the gated area, your technically in no mans land even though your in the US.

There is absolutely nothing correct in that post.
Prior to 9/11 the U.S. had a program called "Transit Without Visa" (TWOV). You could fly into the U.S. and then catch a plane out of the U.S.. You were confined to a secure area and could not leave that area. If you had to go to another part of the airport to board the flight leaving the U.S. airline personal escorted you.
The only "no mans land" at the airport is the customs hall and it is not a no mans land it is just a technicality that you have not entered the the U.S. until cleared by Immigration officers.
Under current procedures any non citizen coming into a U.S. airport, even if the catch a flight out from that airport in a hour or so, must have a valid U.S. visa. I also believe that a Tica requires a visa from Canadian authorities to enter Canada.

She's not in that field of work. We're thinking about her coming up to meet in Montreal for a few days in the summer. We're not trying to break the law in any way by having her leave the airport and stay in the US or anything, just pass thru on her way to Canada.
