"Security" is not why the half-assed Airtrain was planned and built. The whole thing was essentially a compromise after the realization that a direct express link by the MTA that in the doldrums of the 1990s had no funding and insufficient political advocacy. I don't see how it would make a difference whether or not an PANYNJ Airtrain or a MTA operated train as part of a regional network pulled into the general locale of the current terminal outside of screening and boarding. How would that be different than, O'Hare, or Dulles or nearly every European and Asian airport?
