Hot news from a recent Heathrow arrival

The guy who sits next to me at work flew into Heathrow from Chicago this morning. He was lucky enough to arrive around 7am, just after the current crisis kicked off. As he emerged into Terminal 3, he saw signs at the check-in queues stating "4 hours to check-in from this point". He said the terminal was crowded. His taxi was stuck in the tunnel, but made it in to collect him. The taxi driver said the police were lined up at the arrivals holding rifles. It turned out it took him longer to queue for a cup of coffee amidst the crowds than it took for the taxi to make it to arrivals.
