Land wherever you deam fit by the simple words " Pan Pan Pan Airline Flight 123 request diversion to land at NEAREST THAT TAKES YOUR FANCY due to security".
While i agree with the sentiment AP, if you use the phrase "due to security", in the current climate, you will be intercepted whether it's a "bollox bomb note" or not. At that point the choice of divert field MAY be made FOR you not BY you, unless you subsequently upgrade to a MayDay for a non-security related problem.
