So you are suggesting that if I were to transit LHR via Flight Connections it would be OK, but if I used the recommended speedier method of going via E-Gates and then First Wing I would not be OK.

How would "most immigration officials" pick up on this? And what about those immigration officials who are not part of "most"?
