I was thinking, would it have been more secure if the Precursors and had set-up the breach to Earth in such a way that it would allow a kaiju to enter earth but not return back.
Their aim was to destroy human population and in most of the fights shown in the movie, a kaiju fights till it dies. Secondly it does not make sense to bring a kaiju back after couple of fights, when it can cause more damage if it continued to attack human habitats. So is the feature which allows outsiders to pass through the breach a security failure?
Answer
The official novelisation deals with this quite neatly. The fundamental basis of The Breach is that it's a fold in spacetime, bringing two distant points (in this case separated dimensionally as well as spatially) into contact. That being the case, you could no more create a "one way breach" than you could poke a "one-way hole" in a piece of paper.
Harnessing the fundamental energies necessary to the creation of a passage such as the Breach — which essentially folds space-time around itself to bring two distant points into proximity — requires technology far beyond current human capabilities, as well as focused energies equivalent to the entire output of human civilization during the last century. Destroying the Breach, however, is likely easier than creating one.
Secondly, a uni-directional passage would defeat the aliens's battle plan; to learn from each Kaiju encounter and use that data to refine their attacks:
- The kaiju are manufactured
- Some of the repeated strands of DNA act as encoding mechanisms for a kind of species memory
- The kaiju passing through the Breach transmit their experiences on Earth back to the Anteverse
