It's not being done that way. In fact, the opposite is happening. If you try to access the admin site and you are NOT logged in, you are redirected to the login page. This is done via the staff_member_required() wrapper around the index() function in django.contrib.admin.views.main. That's the normal way authenticated access is implemented, too. Normal URL accesses go the intended page, but first check for permission and, if not permitted, redirect to the login section (or elsewhere). That means that logged in people don't have the extra network round-trip of the HTTP redirect call.
