Terrorists try to target public places where the damage to human lives would be maximum. If there are long lines for people to clear the security checks, this itself could be potential targets, according to a report tabled by the House of Commons Transport Select Committee.

The Government is unnecessarily creating new volatile spots for terrorists to carry out their attack by accumulating tons of people in one small area.

Professor Alan Hatcher of the International School for Security and Explosives Education said: "One of my concerns is that we are creating new targets. We have lines of people in terminals now, 200, 300 people in a queue, your bag is not searched when you go in or out, you can take 23 kg of baggage with you and 23 kg of ammonium nitrate mix would... make a good impact."

Although the report didn’t provide a solution to the reminiscent problem, detection of a problem is as good as averting yet another suicide attack. There’s always a way out; for everything.
