The TSA is not going to allow someone to check bags at a Blue Line station.

The EA does state that the C to E connector will be completed in 2016, that of the five former Southwest gates, the two closest to E will be international gates, and the other three will be part of C. The inside security connector for the two orphan gates, 37 and 38, between C and B will be completed in 2017.
Not even if the airside security cordon can be extended to that checkin point?The TSA is not going to allow someone to check bags at a Blue Line station.
The L1341 Renovation and Enhancements Enviro Report is a treasure trove of data -- I've been perusing it off and mostly on for the past 15 hours
There is much here which while unrelated to the Terminal E Renovation and Enhancements aka the A380 Project tells us a lot about what Massport Plans to do at Logan in the related time frame as the current project [circa 2015-2017]
https://www.massport.com/media/337677/TerminalE_EA_073015_signed.pdf
for example [as usual my highlights and comments [such as WOW are in Bold and I've separated some paragraphs into lists:
- on Airline operations of the Group VI aka A-380 Class
- and here's a tidbit on the plans for the Terminal E West Concourse -- aka the Big One -- now known as the Terminal E Modernization Project
So they're gonna connect orphans with orphans? B37 B38 to C40 C41 C42?
Thanks for posting this, the PDF has some great visuals. I wonder if they could take some of the surface lots in front of Terminal E and expand the terminal inward to open up even more space for retail, airline clubs and seating.

^With all of these future routes on the wish list, I can't help but think of a potential JetBlue-Norwegian partnership that turns Boston into the most important LCC hub in the Western hemisphere. Geographically, at least, it makes perfect sense...
“Our idea is — especially when we get the Max in 2017 — setting up networks from most of the west coast of Europe to Boston,” Kjos said, referring to 100 fuel-efficient Boeing 737 MAX single-aisle planes that Norwegian has ordered
Norwegian thinking of connecting Boston with out-of-the-way cities in Europe: Bergen and Stavanger, Norway; Gothenburg, Sweden; Aalborg, Denmark; Aberdeen, Scotland; Bremen, Germany; and Bilbao, Spain.

Seems that such pairings would rely on predominately connecting passengers at Logan, unless the fares are so cheap that, for example, one flies to Aalborg rather than Copenhagen, or Frankfurt, or Cologne, or Amsterdam.
The SAS service to Copenhagen has been confirmed officially.
It will be a year-round daily nonstop on a 737 with 86 seats (20J 66Y config)
From Copenhagen: SK927 will depart daily at 12:50 arriving in Boston at 15:20.
From Boston: SK928 will depart daily at 17:30 arriving at 07.00 the following day.

Is that a light enough configuration to make the westbound trip in strong headwinds? CPH-BOS is nearly 3700 miles, which is almost exactly 1000 miles further than BOS-SFO.
