That's definitely a threat, sure, but there aren't usually chain-wire fences close enough to the apron of a major airport that someone could do that in less than 60 seconds - a bit longer. maybe, but long enough for security response, supposedly. Airport planners actually run simulations to ensure that fences in close proximity to aircraft fuel hydrant points are crash-proof and that all other fencing is electronically monitored. Of course, minor airports and GA aprons are fair game.

There's a fix for that already:
