I'm all for keeping the gate screeners IF THEY ADD VALUE, but do they ALWAYS have to pull people aside for a search? Why not observe who is boarding and if something doesn't seem right THEN pull someone aside. In other words if a flight has 20 people on it why feel inclinded to have to stop 2 people when no one looks or acts strange. For that to work though they will need people with an IQ higher than 100 and an understanding of many things (ticket purchase process, verifying fake travel documents/id's, etc.., etc)
