Lol, ok, if you believe it is. Screening is not just removing shoes, opening bags, or walking through the metal detectors. Screening is a process comprised of many different things, not one or two. We don’t look in people’s ears either, does that imply that they are not screened?

Gate screening is only useful if it's done to everyone.
Another interesting belief. And one that is often repeated here. Unfortunately those who repeat it refuse to put forth the effort to figure out why we do it. It is far easier to just ride along with the rest of the crowd.

If not, it doesn't plug the hole.
You have unrealistic expectations. Please explain your motives for such.
