Yea, the shuttle is not really what I would call "airside" for the simple fact you will still need to clear security (and you would need to do this even if it's T1-to-T1).

It's really hit or miss with the lines at this spot. I have cleared it in 5 minutes and other times 30+ minutes.

And then the issue is how far of a walk is it in T1 to your gate???

As my on personal rule, T1-to-T1 connections must be = or > 1:20 for me. T-4-to-T1 is 2:00. But, as I said you really never know.
