I agree that the MCI terminal is a bit... challenged. The area for luggage is also very tight, making a big mess there.

Seeing as how they have such a large roadway inside the terminal crescent, I would think they would simply block off a large portion of the inner ring corridor, leaving outside the secure area only the check-in desks, and then build a halway/passage that is outside the secure area along the sidewalk/inner lane to allow people to get around. That would make sense to me, but perhaps it is not seen as a huge issue.
Personally, I like the fact you can be dropped off and even if you have to get in line at the counter, you can be at your gate in a few minutes.

There is a sandwich/soda/water cart in there as well as restrooms. I bought a soda from it last time I was there, 2 weeks ago.
