They do not! Just watch the number of airport personnel that walk through the detectors, set them off, and just keep on walking.
But to further illustrate the double standard with flight crews, I used to have a SIDA badge at my base. I used to be able to bypass with all the other airport personnel. They still get to, we pilots do not.
Once again, the public searching of flight crews is a show for passengers. There is no logic based argument to defend it.
