You don't say what passport you hold, but the U.S. DOES require a transit visa for many countries. Most, if not all, U.S. airports do not have transit facilities which allow you to transfer from one flight to another without exiting the international arrivals area. Once you leave the international arrivals area, you are, technically, inside the USA.
