In practice - as far as I'm aware - UK arrivals just decant airside so no additional security checks. Occasionally US arrivals can get sent into the corridors leading to connection security I think, but mostly they also just decant airside. There is a security checkpoint at the Schengen-non-Schengen filter, which I think does random checks [I haven't been through that since I moved here].
