So you queue up all these folks and search them. What if there was a shooter in the crowd? Wouldn't they have just made all this worse? They just made targets out of all these folks.
Searching a huge amount of people in an orderly fashion will always be easier and safer than searching a huge amount of people in a disorderly fashion. There is just no easy way to do this. In AHS we did basic searches on students before they were researched along with their bags. Generally we would ask to leave the bags and just move the kids. That doesn't always occur and every agency or state may train differently on this topic. The main thing that most active shooter training doesn't do, is teach how to evacuate well.
