As a matter of fact even as a US Citizen, I or my companion receive more attention on checks flying from international into the US than we do anywhere domestically or even upon arrive into the US. I just chuckle as we always somehow get chosen in foreign countries for our flights returning to the US despite the fact that we both have Global Entry and are officially through Immigration and Customs in the US in about 5 minutes tops every time, but I digress.
LHR T5 security had gotten into the hot water when tested. It seems because of that they are doing much higher quantities of secondary searches.
