It doesn't involved the security kabuki that we see in the US airports. The same thing applies to policing as well.
It can be expensive and it's not particularly PC, but when was they last time a plane flying out of Israel got blown up or hi-jacked?

Profiling will probably help with terrorists and mass school shootings etc and many americans will be okay with it as well despite it harming innocent americans. I do feel we are getting to that point but the processing power and to do this will be with western corporations rather than western governments.
. Just by data mining target has had the capability to predict that a teenage girl was pregnant even before her parents in 2010 They can predict a lot more but most western corporations don't have profit motive to do so and governments have been unable to do so without pushback.
China and many asian countries don't face similar pushback so they are building surveillance states that knows how a citizen spends every second they haven't got the AI that could monitor all its billions over citizens. But that is I feel just a few years away.
