FWIW, European airports have had armed police and military walking around for years - and not had virtually any terrorist incidents despite the lack of ID checks like you suggest. Their airport security staff also tends to be better trained and sharper (just my biased view) than those I see at US airports.

One more, most international flights match luggage against passengers routinely. The US will have to adopt that practice permanently.

I vote to keep the armed guys in airports indefinitely - since we have seen how much damage a crime originating at an airport can cause. I would happily pay $5-10 extra per flight to cover all security costs too.
