Didn't we just have several stories about screeners that had stolen large amounts of money during the screening process? That's a proven outcome, while stopping terrorists has not happened.
The idea that having semi-secrets can stop terrorists from learning the system is absurd. Yes, you make it opaque to travelers. But anyone that wants to learn about it can do so with only modest effort. And it won't be with obvious video cameras at the checkpoint.
