No, I am not sitting in the flight deck nor will I ever say what you did or didn't see. Hell, I haven't even had the opportunity to work in JFK however, I have worked in various airports in Florida, Ohio, Vermont, and Michigan. I have also visited other stations for different reasons. You are right, different airports/stations has different ways of operating. And yes, I have witnessed pilots getting mugged by the TSA. I have delayed flights to wait for jumpseaters who called me personally just to get them on. But to say, CSA don't get screened is definitely a false statement. Now if I misunderstood you then I apologize, have a heineken on me. Again, no arguements, because WE ALL get violated by the TSA MOB.
1 - You are starting to sound a lot like a poster that used to go by the name of MissKittyKat.
2- Please learn to read for comprehension
3- There are some CSA that go through the day with out going through security. Such as those that work the ticket counter in DFW for AA. The average CSA does get scanned everytime they go to work. I can't say that about the TSA workers though.
4- There are plenty of ground workers that are on the secure side without passing though a pat-down style check or magnatometer. I have seen it personally. I wont list those airports but there are several.
5- You owe me a beer.
6- TSA screening pilots is a waste of time a resources.
