Why ISIS specifically? Anyone who is not a UK or Irish citizen who makes use of the channel is technically exploiting it. The implementation is a bit hit and miss. At the Irish end passports are always checked and almost always scanned now, but sometimes waved though at the smaller airports with only UK arrivals at the time. At the UK end I’ve never had my passport checked, in hundreds of entries.
I assumed the airlines informed the border force of travellers?
