Yeah it's definitely possible they make you go through security out then back in, it's happened to me in LAX at least during an international layover that wasn't starting nor ending in the US...

Well, shit

Just booked today.
If we'd have known this, we would have taken the flight over Toronto - like our return flight

Yes, the US makes you go through customs even when just transiting through the airport. It's a pain and potentially adds a lot of time to a layover. Make sure you have enough time to get to your next flight.

Yeah, didn't thought about that.
First time that I have a stopover in the USA.
