Yes I can see it now - a future BBC headline:

"Bin Laden Arrested Airside at Heathrow"

The Home Office is to launch a wide ranging security review after Osama Bin Laden was found working airside at Europe's busiest airport. Having not been seen in person for some years, Bin Laden was apparently cleared to work at Heathrow in 2003 after only cursory security checks on his immigration status and job application were carried out. Apparently his name, characteristic beard, traditional attire, AK47 and hand grenade belt did not arouse the suspicions of the authorities, a spokesman for whom pointed out that "we have loads of foreigners working here and they all look the same...."
