If the point (if there is a point) of terrorism is to "terrorize", I can't think of a better way than making me sweat for 3 hours in a huge line wondering if some maniac's going to come in and start spraying bullets or exploding, or perhaps opting out of traveling altogether. OP has it exactly right. Airplane hijackings get a lot of attention, but being afraid of even mundane activities is downright terrifying.
