That's a fair point - I think most of us are just currently hoping that it won't.
I'd like to think that if Elon were running it (doesn't look like he wants to though), it wouldn't be a problem. He's a brilliant engineer who designs systems to overcome difficult problems. The 'security theatre' is just a consequence of an extremely poorly-designed system. I'm pretty sure someone like Elon could exploit modern sensing equipment and AI/ML techniques to build a system that is demonstrably better than, say, the TSA, and doesn't require anyone's personal space to be invaded. Who knows - maybe we'll get lucky and 'secure, 90 second check-in' be an integral feature of his design?!
