I maybe pessimistic but I don't see the US trusting UK security or vice versa any time soon, let alone the security of some third world country. If they do manage to implement a fixed link from T3 to T5 I would asume you'll have to be re-screened as you leave the plane and before entering the terminal. I think the reason that's done in the FCC at present is it meansthey only need one set of screening equipment and staff.
