Just wondering as i plan to go on wed/thurs, would the East Perimeter Road be open? Iam gonna try and go and explain that we are just letting them win if they disrupt our lives, just fob the terrorists off and continue spotting!

If I were you I'd make sure you go and also take some identification with you. Chances are security is going to be tighter so if you at least look like you are co-operating then it'll help.
Any ID with a photo, that can quickly confirm you are who you say you are. You probably won't need it but if you are approached by police or security then tell them you have ID and don't mind showing it.

Say that you're showing your support for the UK's aviation industry and that you'll co-operate fully with any pat down check or stuff.

It's an idea I've heard mentioned in the past, and my opinion of it is that if some organisation was to set the scheme up I would join it to show my support.
But who would do it? The devil really would be in the detail.

Ok pibby lol 
Is that the nice happy sounding voice that says have a good trip?
Iam also looking on Google Earth for other vantage points that are away from any area that they might worry but i will go and see how it goes and always comply with the authorities.
If you act friendly and smile they might let you stay

Heehee. All this increased security has its advantages - lots of police in uniform and hi viz - yay!
