Less rush? More space? Better equipment (enabled because of the previous two)? I'm not sure.

  Probably very parallelizable, too - a bag that needs to be pulled off a line doesn't prevent a passenger from going on to their gate.

    Definitely. If you watch the baggage screeners, they spent a lot of time inching the belt forwards and backwards to get a better look at something. While they're doing this, every other bag is just sitting there trapped in the queue. On the other hand, a lot of the checked baggage handling is very automated and can probably get a good view into most pieces without fiddling around.
