Greenpeace protest at Heathrow Feb 25 AM
It was just on BBC news that Greenpeace is staging a protest at Heathrow by climbing on top of a plane that just came in from Manchester. No word yet on impact this is having on operations.

Climate campaigners are on top of a Manchester to London plane parked at Heathrow Airports Terminal One. They are now covering the tailfin with a huge protest banner that reads CLIMATE EMERGENCY NO 3rd RUNWAY.
Apparently no operational effect, but lots of news coverage.

Would the second stunt mean tighter passenger security - considering the protestors had dressed as ground staff?
Good Greenpeace publicity! Not so much for BAA.
