Is it best just to say, 'routing point A to point B, please confirm danger areas are cold?' (assuming we've already checked NOTAMs to agree with such).

When I last visited London Info (back in 2008) the FID was some distance from the RTF position (may have been moved since) and the display was filtered to only show '1177s'.
The FISO (Area) could call up DA activity almost instantly by typing the DA number into his computer.
