Would any UK based pilot have enough confidence in our security system to dismiss a passengers claim to be wearing an explosive vest, particularly if they had displayed a convincing looking device to the crew? I know for sure I wouldn't.
It then comes down to what they are demanding, a request to divert and land somewhere sounds like a great idea to me and would be exactly what I would be planning anyway.
