I knew the two had nothing to do with each other; I just wanted to pick on Kit that's all...

If you've got the valid ID, I don't see why you need to be in uniform or carrying a second ID for CrewPass - just like you don't need to be in uniform or carrying a second ID for CASS. I wonder if TSA asks for a 2nd ID simply b/c they're trained to ask for a government ID for all regular passengers - it keeps the policy uniform.

If you know of an airport that has really old computers (green screens), go try to use CASS there - you can't. Doesn't matter if your passport # and name comes up on the screen. Color photo or CASS can't verify you.

If it makes you feel any better I recently got asked for my passport while deadheading (positive space) on my own airline by one of my own company's gate agents, while in uniform with company ID. There's no consistency - which is why I'm glad to see the crewpass system finally.
Now they need to mandate a similar database of all LEO's who carry weapons onboard flights. As it stands right now there is no way for the TSA to tell if a guy bringing a weapon on board has a real or a fake badge...

The entire system is ridiculous. I have/had a sec clearance in the USAF, yet I had to get a frickin' FAA background check? Wasted $. Then....when I went back after furlough...my fingerprints were rejected. Why? Well the person I spoke with asked if I was in the military and had a Sec Clrc and asked some more questions. Turns out my prints with DAL were not high enough quality and didn't match my former DOD prints.....had to redo them.
All this CASS, Crew PASS...is CRAP for guys in the US Mil. We should be easy and free with regards to this..yet the FAA feels they need to do their own checks!
