Default Connection in Frankfurt

Depends on the quantity of people waiting.
If you ask politely, there is a chance some employee helps you get on
faster, contrary to the US, where TSA rules.
Also note that our controls are not as stoopid as the one in America with
the stoopid questions trying to make you answer you're a born terrorist, no
waste of time with pics and fingerprints etc
They don't try to palpate you all over the place either.
Just a normal, civilized control to get into a normal country.
As you are checked, chances are the flight will reasonably wait for you, so
don't linger in the duty free shops !
You have a good chance to get through and Lufthansa knows better than
Levine...if your first flight is on time.

Lufthansa's website indicates that the international arrivals all run
through Terminal 1 for a seamless connection. My sample itinerary
had less than an hour to connect. Is this legit? How does the
process work?


Poorly. If you're connecting from the US to Italy, you will have to
go through both immigration and security inspection, and probably wait
in line for both. In my experience, the chances of making your plane
in a one hour connection are not good.
