Personally, I do not mind the security interview as I have found out that once they saw I have so many of their 'stickers' on the back of my passport, they just ask the most basic questions and the entire 'interview' is hilarious (if you speak cantonese - all I say is 'mo, mo, mo')
The only sad thing is we can't check in at the 'white zone' anymore, although sometimes theres a bit of a wait as there's only one counter for F (shared by 884 and 870 when I fly 806) but again quite minor in the grand scheme of things.
What I mean is this doesn't stop me from flying CX lol. And OP shouldn't really have to worry about it - it's not as inconvenient as you envision!
