Yes it absolutely is. Using queing theory, you are improving the service rate while catering to the same arrival rate. Note that the service rate improvement is mainly due to parallel processing before the bags go on the conveyor. The conveyor itself has a fixed service rate. The efficiency gain is from simultaneously loading and speeding up the conveyor belt as more people are feeding it
Could be if people weren't stupid and the machines didn't have technical issues. Also, go through international on Monday mornings....
It's not efficient because it doesn't maintain order. You may step into bin #4 and Someone behind you may step into bin #1 and they could push their bin on the conveyor first and delay your screening.
And if you are behind that person in another scenario, you could step in front of the slower person and gain. And in the end it all averages out.
Yes that is very true over a period of time. But there Is not equity guaranteed in each transaction such as First in First Out queuing
Queing theory doesn't really help when in reality you're incentivizing bad behavior. Now, instead of waiting on a line it's a mad push to force your bin onto the belt to jump the line. You self optimize and slow down the whole system. Plus, you now pay some poor TSA goon to have to stand there to get to regulate that behavior and get everyone to move their bins forward together once the whole launching belt is clear, negating any of the efficiency benefits you're highlighting. No, I'm stuck on absolute waste of government resources.
