Why not just implement a two-pronged screening system, one in which if you do not trigger the detector you are out of there in a couple of minutes, and if you do then you join the queue for the (much longer) shakedown?

This is the way it works now. If I don't trigger the metal detector, I don't get the pat down and hand search. If my bag doesn't register anything suspicios on the x-ray machine, then it doesn't get hand checked. I am gone quickly.
