SW simply buys the TSA pizzas for this waiver.

This was in the airport employee line since my company is just now saying they will pay for KCM.
Koshetz said allowing badged flight crews in uniform to bring liquids through the checkpoint is a national TSA policy and is not unique to Orlando International. She would not discuss TSA policy regarding airport employees in other cities.

So they banned crews from doing it just so they wouldn't have to get yelled at by someone in flip flops.

Went through today in STL in plain clothes. Had an extra TSA person there for random checks. I just pulled my bag up to her and she only checked the outside pockets she could see. She didn't even remove my flight case from the Clip. Looks like they may only be looking for weapons and not trying to hold you up. It all lasted 15 seconds.
So if you must get your 40oz of hair gel or moisturizer through don't put it on the outside lol.
