It probably takes 20 seconds going into the carry-on and about 20 seconds coming back out.

Depending on my mood, I'll dig the stuff back out at the lounge or while still hanging with the Smurfs.
Sure -- that would work. The only additional risk is that a screener could start tearing into your carry-on out of sight while you're being frisked or strip-searched. Regardless, I would make sure you hid your wallet in a reasonably private place out of sight of the checkpoint.
