I'm repeatedly amazed that the same people who contend the federal government is incompetent equally contend that the federal government is the only group that can do something right.
You folks are missing the key point. Again, I'm not in favor of the bureaucrats taking over airport security. In fact, I'd prefer to see the FAA less-involved. I also know that simply paying the current screeners more money is not the answer.
I'd like to see the military be responsible. Doing this would de-politicize the issue, not cost us a fortune, create security people that are accountable and with excellent training.
In my opinon, this is the most cost effective and safest solution. Again, don't expect it to happen because this whole issue has become a huge political football.
Oh, we get it much more than you expect.

SOMEONE has to define what's not allowed - and it's not our duly-elected representatives.

The job of the military is to kill people and break things. That does not mix well with Jane Sixpack forgetting to take the nail file out of her makeup kit. It also constitutes a flat-out violation of the 4th Amendment.
Doing this would de-politicize the issue,
Oh, politics WILL get involved wherever tens of thousands of soldiers forced their will upon the public.
not cost us a fortune,
Oh? Where pray tell WILL the money for this come from? Soldiers aren't free, and they've all got assignments already!
create security people that are accountable
"Just following orders, m'am."
and with excellent training.
Do they teach (en masse) baggage screening in the military? Didn't think so.
In my opinon, this is the most cost effective and safest solution.
In my opinion, this is the most efficent route to a military/police state and will result in a lot of imprisoned or dead people.
Again, don't expect it to happen because this whole issue has become a huge political football.
Gee, I thought you said this wouldn't be politicized.
