This is one of those things that would make life so much simple, but of course for that reason alone it probably wont be released.

Hitachi are currently working on a new security gate that does the check of boarding passes and also scans you for things you should not have when flying.



The new gate is currently under trial in Narita Airport and selected Tokyo Subway stations. Here is hoping it goes live as soon as it can, because lets face it, airports jam up faster than a Los Angeles freeway.
