I was referring more just to delays in Calais for either the ferries or the Eurotunnel. You have those checks and then additional ones for anyone that isn't a UK Citizen.
Those machines are how they check who you are though so I don't see them ever going.

The U.K Government doesn't want this because they want to check whose coming into the country before they cross the channel. It would be easier for immigrants to get across and then once in the U.K it's more complicated for the Government to process them.
I am not sure why Brexit makes much of a difference into why you would want this agreement or not anyway. It's just easier for both sides to process passport checks at the same time.
