I don't know why they don't just offer FF miles for the extra gate-based search stuff.

Come on, who would roll their eyes or complain about some extra screening if they're getting 1000 miles for the inconvenience?</font>
At BHM NW has a good routine. If you're selected for an additional search (as my family was on Christmas) you are then the first people to board the aircraft. This has the benefit of enlisting the passengers in the process because there is an immediate benefit to being searched. I've seen NW follow this proceedure on the other occasions I've flown from BHM since Sep 11.
