I know its a hassle, most of them are just doing their jobs.
So what is more of a threat:
1) A terrorist dressing up as a pilot. Making an ID card to sneak past TSA who is unable to spot a fake Crew Badge or check it for accuracy.
or
2) Get a job as a ramper and bypass all security and have access to all areas of the ramps and planes as well as cargo areas?
If you answered #2, you are logical
If you answered #1, you..well I cant say it.
(If you think all rampers get checked you are out of your mind)
