UK could save a ton of time if they just better implemented One Stop Security. Heathrow wastes a massive amount of time by rescreening cabin luggage that was already screened in Europe/US/Canada.
And this isn’t a Brexit thing.
I’ve avoided transiting through Heathrow because of this silliness. Especially as they won’t let you bring big contact lens in your carryon while US/Canada does. Not cool to have it seized mid-journey despite staying airside.
When you transit you’re in a flight with people who didn’t transit. They don’t know where your luggage has been or hasn’t been or if it’s yours or new.
What they are doing is normal and many airports in asia do exactly that.
