Not entirely true...
You do not have to go landside, or go through security.
If you hold the return BP already (eg. Issued at initial departure point), then you can follow the sign up the stairs/escalator for "Terminal 2 connections" after exiting the plane in T2. This branches you away, before the baggage collection point.
Much like arriving on a domestic flight into T5 and transferring, you pass through just one check point, for BP scan (and photo biometric ID, as its a domestic flight next) and then your deposited airside T2. (Directly opposite gate A21, so remarkably close to the LR gates!)
I don't know the minimum conformance time to be allowed through this point, hand baggage only. But this is the correct path for a domestic-to-domestic transfer at T2. Modelled on the T5 system, where domestics are considered 'safe' with no need to pass through security again. But you do need your onward BP.. There is no customer service desk nearby to issue you one.
