I have been doing a lot of flying between London and Brussels, recently.
The dialogue would go like this:

"The belt has to go off."
"Not this one. It's all plastic."
"Well, if you want to risk it setting off the alarm. On you go."

The security in Brussels airport are particularly "human" and treat you 
like a person. The ones in Heathrow are polite but snowed under with the 
number of travellers and tend to be more peremptory.
