Do they let non-US-citizen FAs/pilots like her utilize KCM to access "secure" airports/airliners? If so I'm terrified of the consequences of that gross oversight of security.

For pilots, KCM makes sense--the most dangerous weapons we have are our hands and feet, so who really cares what's in our bags/pockets...but FAs? Like the one in the article? Should we really be letting them through KCM with ZERO bag check/metal detector?

We really, really have a gaping hole in our security infrastructure by allowing FAs to go through KCM--to the extent I wonder why we even bother with screening anyone at all
