I am stating a fact and are curious if this is a just way to do security clearance.
I had the same experience on 3/21 flying LHR-IAD in C. I flashed my C boarding pass to the "moat dragon" near the gate area, and was directed away from the small secondary screening area that the Y pax were being funneled through. Nice and easy!
