You of all people should know or be able to devise ways to mitigate their attempts!
My favorite JM story is the Mesa captain in IAD that changed into civilian clothes in the cockpit before exiting...walking anonymously right past the Crew Tracker who was waiting to JM him. A close runner-up story is the Mesa Crew Tracker that got arrested by airport police (who were notified of a "suspicious person on the ramp" by a flight crew) for being in a secure area without a SIDA badge.
True or not? I don't know...but funny nonetheless!
