The only thing that's different is that I don't need a boarding pass, my ID is good enough to get through. This makes no sense to me.
I would like it if I can get ahold of their specific policy towards this.
You never are forced to go through the body scanner. Anyone can opt out for a pat down. But with crew ID, you can opt out for the metal detector, in or out of uniform.
