It seems to me that the security people at Heathrow and the various airports I travel through regularly are reasonably thorough. They're learning to process people more quickly too, but without (I hope) compromising the care of their searches. However, airports vary in the extent to which they check shoes. Stansted has machines for checking shoes immediately after the bags are checked. Other airports examine shoes manually on a random (ish) basis. I have to say, that, that I have been through security with liquids in my hand baggage and not in the regulation clear plastic bag - and I've not been picked up.
