At the central security BP didn’t work initially, but it seemed to be one click on keyboard and a scan of the BP to enable me to enter again.
Hi,

It certainly is at T5 as BA has ready to fly coded into the boarding pass and when it is scanned for a second time ( if you go in and leave then re enter) it is apparently not a trivial thing to get it updated.
Not sure if if is applicable at other UK airports ( could be at LGW). I think at EDI you could leave and entre as many times as you want ( having to do security each time you go in)

Regards
