I agree. As a resident of New York City, I felt safer landing the other day at LHR than staying in New York! During my 5 day visit, I did not feel at all unsafe traveling throughout England by train. As for LHR, I did not see any evidence of the increased security as I left and entered LHR via the Heathrow Express, and the train leaves the airport in a tunnel. No problems with photography at train stations either! No gaffers tape (duct tape) with me.
