Flew NRT-LHR-ARN yesterday, both flights in T3.
At the transfer checkpoint, the MMW was up and running, and people were being selected pretty frequently. This does not match my experience at T1, as that NoS always seems to be closed.
Lines were fairly long, so by the time I got near the WTMD/MMW, another lane opened up, and I made my way over there. Breezed through the WTMD without any issues, while pax continued to be selected for the MMW.
If I had gone through the other lane, and been selected, I'm curious to know what would have happened if I told them I could not raise my arms.
