I understand the reasoning for why the bus isn’t considered secure. But I think it practical terms it could easily be as secure as many other aspects of airport security.
Just as one example, you could have a security seal placed on the doors (passenger and luggage) in Waterloo that triggers electronically and physically breaks if the door is opened. So passengers and luggage loaded on the secure side. Security seals the doors. When arriving in Toronto you pass directly into the secure area if the seals are still in place. The seal doesn’t stop any doors from opening so their is no safety risk in the case of fire or an accident or whatever on the bus.
I’m not saying that’s worth it or not. But if we cared only about true security (and ignored things done for the appearance of security) then I think it’s a pretty easy problem to solve.
