ALPA has been careful to remind all of us that this program is an alternate form of security screening and that in no way does this allow a pilot to "bypass" security.

Once you check in to CrewPass, you are verified and simply go on your way without screening you bags, performing the pat down, etc. However, TSA reserves the right to do the through search of you, your bags, and a pat down on a "random" basis. If you do not appear in CrewPass as an active pilot, you have to go through the entire process with the people.

So, you may or may not have to go through the regular line...but most pilots will show up and be out of the area in less than 15 seconds.
