Police are investigating a scam involving airside security passes at Heathrow Airport.
They have arrested two young women, thought to be airport workers.
Heathrow said it had "taken appropriate action" until the police investigation is complete.
Scotland Yard would not reveal details of their suspicions around airside passes, but it is not thought to involve their illegal sale or cloning.
It could be part of a criminal plot - Heathrow was dubbed 'Thiefrow' after a string of thefts - but it will inevitably raise concerns about terrorism.
Kevin Hurley, former head of counter terrorism at the City of London Police, said: "It could be used to get close up to some of the high-value cargo areas and of course we have already had the Brink's Mat saga here once before.
