It is. I witnessed a pax at LHR T5 fast track security getting her collar felt by a couple of armed rozzers for having pepper spray in her carry about eight years ago, I didn't hang around to see the end game, but not making her flight might've been the least of her worries. She certainly didn't understand the seriousness of it.
