I thought it was redundant to do a passport check and then again, stand on the circle, scan boarding pass, look at camera, gate opens . . . worked for our family fine but a significant minority struggled. I don't recollect the last time I transited Heathrow on the way home them doing this but that was quite some time ago now.
