I just called the MEM chief pilots office to get my SIDA paperwork started so I wouldn't have to endure the new screening proceedures, and was told that Uniformed Crews are exempt in MEM until next spring some time (March or April). That was all the info I got, they weren't sure if that meant the old scanners or just a basic pat down. Either way it's good news.
Mods please delete if this is considered SSI or a violation of any sort.
