We are already screened by robots. Maybe not the physical kind you're talking about, but daemons, scripts and robo applications that use big data to figure out who you are.
That thing with the lines and such at the airport is theatre for the most part. "Oh, we found this 12 ounce Key lime Jelly", yet routine security tests show that most guns and weapons sail right through.
If you have TSA/PRE or clear, it's a bit better. At least you can leave your shoes on.
If you have Global entry, coming back to the US is a breeze. You walk up to the Kiosk, it takes your picture and you're done. Hand the receipt to the guy as you walk past. That was a bunch of digital processes to match the physical you to the digital you and it's way more accurate that a minimum wage government TSA goon looking to see if you used gallon zip locks instead of quart ones.
