I took the chance and the TSO said the line served both purposes. Maybe it's a new-ish thing.
One thing to note - now that they have started flying mainline 737s out of there, the security lines have gotten longer and the terminal quite crowded. I could see them wanting this if they have a late arriving crewmember.
with a couple exceptions most of the crews are just turning there - they have one AS overnight crew and a few on QX. All total, a KCM line would never see more 12-16 crew in a day.
