The TSA is far from fine. Their overzealous Gestapo searches on civilian pilots and are unnecessary and they know it. They also know that pilots will easily co-operate with them and will toe the line as, by the inherent nature of our vocation, we are trained to follow rules. Essentially it's all about control.
