Scanning was after UK border passport check, this is probably manned by locals since their focus is on weapons, explosives etc rather than whether somebody got visa to UK.

Might not be so bad if they ensured that they are genuine and that they left afterwards. 50% of students or "students" from Nigeria, India and Pakistan on 3 year courses are still here after 5 years.
