This would be a great development. Yet, those who fly infrequently must not be abused by invasive physical searches without cause, nor treated as perps. So by "greater scrutiny" I hope you don't mean that the current nonsense will continue. A lot of air traffic consists of passengers who are infrequent flyers.
You might spent 20 seconds longer answering a few seemingly silly questions, and your ticket might get scanned.
having tickets/ID scanned may be ok, innocuous questions ok, I would play nicely. But if you ask me who I work for, where I'm going, what I'm doing there, how long I'm going, sorry, but that is offensive and those questions should not be answered.
