Bit harsh to blame this on Heathrow. According to BBC:
"Out of an abundance of caution, Homeland Security determined the flight would not be allowed to land in Boston," a U.S. Homeland Security Department official said in Washington, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.
Abundance of caution. Hmmm. Not surprised she wants to remain anonymous - clearly this was a thwarted terrist attack in DHSspeak.
