I find your If A=B and B=C, therefore A=C approach too simplistic.
So you never answered my questions. If I have cockpit access and nefarious intentions, why would I need to sneak something past security on a jumpseat flight when I can just crash the plane at will on my next scheduled flight?! If I'm confirmed as actively employed as a pilot, no amount of screening could stop me from crashing a plane. So I fail to see your logic that screening is needed simply because I might be deadheading or jumpseating and not flying that leg.
We've been doing this screening for how many years now and stopped how many actively employed pilots? 0
