Prevent or delay? That term is vague. I can tell you that when a selectee bag is being checked, it can take a long time. Therefore since ICE is stationed at our airport. They get there before TSA is done checking the bag. Also we have LEO on the check points, IT takes them 20 seconds to get to us when we call for one. Therefore TSA isnt delaying anyone. I have seen people in the selectee lane get what amounts to a thread count on their clothing for being high risk. That was a bag check that lasted over 45 minutes.
