UK already does it.. at least at Gatwick.

  UK is an authoritarian state, though. The US, for the moment, is at least in theory supposed to have a different set of value judgements in regards to liberty.

    The US is a surveillance state whose main exports are war, terror, and spy-tech. Bribery and corruption are commonplace at all levels of the power structure. Lies, secrecy, and disinformation are rampant. Propaganda is universal. The state does not care about "liberty" for its people; it cares only that its people are convinced they have it. Or that they are at least sufficiently distracted so the process may continue, until there is not a movement that is unknown or a communication that is unheard. Then, if there's any shred of humanity remaining, that will be taken as well.
