Clearing security elsewhere still puts the traffic between the remote site and A18 in between, which seems like a much larger variable. You are checked in and past security, but not at the gate yet, so delays getting to the gate, and getting your bags on board are still on you. Is the non-precheck line so bad?
I could understand putting something out at the blue line airport station, that's a much more controllable transfer.
a lot of people don't want to drive in, on the bus you can do TPS reports on your phone or laptop, etc. It's not just the security line. but if you're going to do something like this, then adding a security checkpoint isn't a huge additional expense, simplifies some stuff when the bus arrives (e.g. the bus can go onto the tarmac rather than have to fight the congested traffic around the departures area, you only have one stop really rather than having to drop people off then go somewhere else to pick up returning passengers. There's tons of reasons to do this that have nothing to do with TSA lines.
