Sure, detonating a bomb near the security queue will still cause plenty of damage and injuries. On the whole, though, I think this damage would be less than that from a detonation aboard an aircraft in flight.
Agreed. But, I think, there would be more cost effective and less intrusive ways to accomplish that single purpose.
