I don't follow. Overnight bus parking lots tend to have very little security. Luggage loaded onto buses gets very little screening. A single person could easily put bombs on multiple buses and then slip away.

Or ten people could do it. It's probably a lot easier to find ten recruits willing to load bombs onto buses and escape than to find one recruit willing to die by bringing a bomb onto a plane.

If you go around trying to find 10 people to commit mass murder, there is a high likelihood that one of them will turn you in, or that one of them is already under law enforcement scrutiny that will lead to discovery of your plans.

Even easier to find one person willing to give ten recruits a carefully wrapped package of "drugs" that they think they will deliver at the other end....
