Probably not. There's about 900 million passengers a year in the US (https://www.rita.dot.gov/bts/press_releases/bts018_16 https://www.rita.dot.gov/bts/press_releases/bts018_16), so if you assume a 15 minute wait, you can estimate number of lifetimes lost in line: ((((900,000,000 * 15) / 60) / 24) / 365.25) / 78.74 = 325.98.
Not to say we should have no security, but I suspect we're past the point of doing more harm than good.
