NATS problems, why the queues?

The media is having their normal feeding frenzy with the latest NATS screwup and we are seeing horrendous queues outside the building of T3 and everywhere at T5.

I do understand that this means a lot of airplanes are not taking off, or landing. But why the queues? Processing of arriving passengers should not be impacted by airplanes not leaving, should they? Why not process them normally, get them through security and into the bars and shops.

Sure you might end up with a billion or so beyond security, but so what? Isn't it better having them indoors in the warm, rather that outside in the cold?

I don't see the logic in this.
