Still too early to say if this was a terrorist or just some drunk bloke, but I figured I’d post it as it exposes a security flaw at Heathrow:
Man arrested for running on Heathrow runway
Update: Police determined there were no explosives in the bag after a controlled blast was carried out on it.

LONDON – A man was arrested after running out onto a runway at London’s Heathrow airport carrying a bag on Thursday, police said.
“I can confirm that at approximately 2:05 p.m. a man was seen airside at Heathrow airport on the northern runway. He’s been arrested by police and he’s currently in custody,” a police spokesman said. He declined to say whether the incident was considered terrorism-related.
“A bag has been recovered and obviously it will be examined,” he said.

Not really a matter of whether the bag had explosives are not. You wouldn’t really need that if you were testing the security. That he got out there is the big issue.
