When I passed through last night the secret door bypassing the duty free was shut. How often is it open?
That's because the self-scanners don't recognize BPs from economy class (although the traveler may have a shiny card), or so I'm told. I transit T3 once a week, and I'd say that the "secret door" is open about 60% of the time. When they do random secondary screening, it's closed.
