The idea of having the bus be pre-cleared is absolutely insane. But then again, since airplane security is mostly theatre, maybe they’ll do it — they already do lots of things that are insane from a security standpoint, if the purpose were actual security.
What a roller coaster of a post!
It’s not at all insane. It’s easy to get the bus loaded/unloaded in the secure areas of the airports. And it’s extremely easy to keep the inside of the bus with passengers “sanitized” from start to end of the journey. If it gets compromised (like the bus has to pull over or open its door for any reason) you just make wverything reclear on the other end.
You could argue that the bus itself moving into and out of the airport would be an easy target but it’s literally no different than the hundreds/thousands of other vehicles that move into/out of the airport secure area every day.
