The BBC says:

Heightened security checks at airports could create a potential new target for terrorists, MPs have warned.

A report by the Commons transport select committee said queues of hundreds of passengers in cramped spaces could become a security hazard.

The committee recommended that reducing queues at security and speeding up check-in times should be a priority.

What a trivial observation. There are queues of people in zillions of places in the country, and a ten-year old could have told you that these are more likely terrorist targets. And of course there are many non-security queues of people in airports, namely at check-in desks. The Commons transport select committee proves once again that it serves little purpose in the world.
