Nice rhetoric, but short on reality.

Are you familiar with The Law of Unintended
Consequences? Your suggestion creates a huge
motivation for minimum wage, minimum skill
employees to conspire with others to plant
prohibited items in the bags of unsuspecting
passengers. This would be a very bad thing.

Many airport security firms promise bonuses
to screeners for each FAA Approved Test
Object that they find. I believe that it's
$50 for faux knives/guns and $250 for faux
bombs.

A former colleague, now retired, worked as a
security screener. [Said he needed something
to do.] Apparently; the security firms
routinely fail/forget/deny the earned bonus.
It is a source of deep resentment among the
screeners.
