The terrorist would wear a suicide bomber belt under his coat and claim he needs to give a lunch to his child. The terrorist would walk into the middle of the lunchroom and blow himself up, killing at least 200 children. All of this is possible with no security and minimal planning. It would not be very hard to plan this attack and repeat it in 100 schools at the same time. That attack would truly be the worst-case terrorist scenerio of all.
One word-

Beslan.
