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!
I got juniored once. After that, it was all about outsmarting them - especially the witch in Futures (you TSAers know who I'm talking about).
I've heard of the first story before. I've also heard of pilot who hopped out of the galley door and walked into the terminal through ops. My favorite is waiting on the plane for 15 minutes after blocking in, and then buying a mini-Jack from the FA.
