You can have a gallon jug of water through KCM traveling for pleasure out of uniform if you want.
What about my statement isn't correct? I said if he's gets selected for full passenger screening then he's subjected to liquid, et al restrictions.

Straight from the horse's mouth...

Uniforms

Effective January 13, 2015, crewmembers are no longer required to wear uniforms when utilizing the KCM access points at airports nationwide. Uniformed crewmembers are allowed certain exemptions by the TSA when they are screened at KCM access points and passenger screening checkpoints. With the change of the uniform requirement, these exemptions at the KCM access point and at the passenger screening checkpoint will be permitted in accordance with the following:

a. Uniformed crewmembers will continue to have exemptions at the passenger screening checkpoint and the KCM access point.

b. Non-uniformed crewmembers, who are selected and receive random screening at the KCM access point, will continue to have exemptions.

c. Non-uniformed crewmembers who are selected for random screening at KCM access points, then directed by the TSA officer to the passenger screening checkpoint (at either the standard lane or employee lane, where available) to receive screening:
• WILL NOT be allowed exemptions

• Are not permitted to utilize TSA Pre✓™ lanes
• Do not have front-of-the-line access to the standard passenger screening lane
• (Note: Non-uniformed crewmembers are viewed as passengers when screened at passenger screening checkpoints and are screened to passenger screening standards. This is a longstanding rule that has not been changed.)

Notice: When approaching a KCM access point, non-uniformed crewmembers should wear their airline ID visible on their outer most garment above their waist. This will assist the Transportation Security Officer (TSO) in identifying you as a crewmember approaching the KCM podium and not a passenger attempting to breach the sterile area of the airport.
