Well you've actually hit on the critical point. Airport screeners, like Air Force mechanics, are federal employees whose work is important to national security. The taxpayers put a lot of trust in their loyalty.
Offhand, I seem to remember that Courts have allowed non-citizens to take jobs as school teachers and postal workers. But for a law enforcement and military positions, the Courts have let Uncle Sam set its own standards. For another example, for some intelligence positions, not only must you be a citizen but you won't be hired if any member of your family (such as your spouse) is a foreign national.
This idiotic injunction Court will be overturned. If it isn't, then there would be no legal way the military or the FBI could refuse to hire an otherwise qualified Iraqi or North Korean immigrant.

So why do we have non-citzens in our armed services?
They are allowed to serve...
