I've seen people hanging around security, but I've never been concerned. I assume they were waiting for other people, but should I be concerned? Has anybody been the victim of a post-security pickpocket, who selected their target based on what they're putting through the scanner?

Welcome to FT
This really isn't an airport security issue these days because you have to have a gate pass or boarding pass to get past the person who checks driver's licenses.
When I don' t have precheck, I just take my little plastic bag of toilet articles out and put my wallet, keys, watch etc. where the little plastic bag
was and then reverse the process at the other end of the line where the police are.
Now it may be a different story if you take your wallet out when you're buying something at a store.
