Presumably, also the reason we have those fake queue lines at airports (not sure the correct word is for it).

My understanding is that "fake queues" at airports are for security. To spread people out so that they are not all waiting in the same place.

Long queues are a prime target for terrorists, and if something bad happens, small groups of people are more manageable than large groups.
