It's not the bus that is "dirty". It's because once you are dumped at the terminal then you mix with other non-Schengen pax. So they should make A non-Schengen bus arrivals a clean zone only for US/UK arrivals.
I am going to try to use MUC or CPH exclusively going forward. However, on the return FRA is not so bad even with a bus gate, although a cop grabbed me in Z a few days ago after the passport control for secondary.
Malmosto: this has been in place for many years. And given your username then you might have noticed this at CPH where they rebuilt the arrivals in the C finger so that you avoid security when connecting and arriving from US or UK before going to passport control. Ok, if you are going to Malmo then you wouldn't notice it.......

However, it's not just bus arrivals. The UK and Ireland are also 'clean' non-Schengen countries but apart from rare occasions when evening flights dock at Z gates connecting passengers have to clear transfer security whether their flight arrives at a B gate, C gate or a remote stand.
