Hi,

On UK airlines lights at least ( BA/VS) there is no person asking questions prior to check in. ( On BA the first person to ask for your passport will be the check in agent)

At the gate there will be a couple of contractors for the airline checking your passport and occasionally asking a question ie how long will you be in the us.

The US airlines check prior to check in is more visibly obvious.

Regards
