The ultimate reason why FEDERAL agents should NOT be arbitrarily checking luggage in a NON-FEDERAL facility provided for the use of PRIVATE businesses:

Bill Of Rights, Amendment IV:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Checking for weapons or explosives at an airport concourse is not considered to be unreasonable search and thus not protected under the 4th.
