Shreveport Regional is a small regional airport with a single compact terminal, so connections are rarely a real concern here since it functions mainly as an origin/destination airport feeding a handful of mainline hubs. There is essentially no international service, and passenger volumes are low enough that lines and crowding are almost never a factor. SHV has one small single-level terminal with gates arranged along a short concourse, so there is no shuttle or train required. Passengers simply walk from one gate to another, typically in under five minutes, with no re-screening needed since all gates sit beyond a single security checkpoint.
