Trip back to USA on USAir: how many checkpoints do they need?

So far we have been through four checkpoints, each with a waiting line, just in the Madrid airport requiring passports or searches:

initial airline check in to check luggage,
security to check our carryons,
passport control to leave Spain,
and most inexplicably, a checkpoint to get into the gate waiting area.

Of course we still have the one we will have to go through to get from the waiting area onto the plane. That will be 5 just in the airport, four requiring a passport.

Add another two in Philadelphia  for US passport control and customs and we will have been through seven lines altogether.

Does this make things more secure or just add jobs?
