Note that the airline STILL cannot guarantee that your bags will not have items stolen out of them when checked.

If the BAGS cannot be secure, then why can't terrorists simply sneak bombs in THERE?

Also, and I'm honestly surprised this has not happened, what about the security lines themselves as a target?

Take our ABQ airport. Most all the planes are 737s and smaller. The security line, OTOH, snakes several planes full of passengers through one, large room. By definition, the people in the line have no yet been searched. If a suicide attacker detonated in the middle of the line, he'd get his dearest wish, the murder of countless innocents (for which Allah gives him a nice prize—yeah Islam!). Also, air travel would be just as screwed with all the economic issues that causes.
