Sorry but the pilot is still going to get behind the controls of the aircraft so who cares what he's carrying.

So long as this is possible I'm afraid none of us are safe.

The TSA is far from fine. Their overzealous Gestapo searches on civilian pilots and are unnecessary and they know it. They also know that pilots will easily co-operate with them and will toe the line as, by the inherent nature of our vocation, we are trained to follow rules. Essentially it's all about control.

Anyone that has been in the system for a while knows how to get ANYTHING through into the system, CrewPass might make it easier...but TSA needs to spot check pax, not people protecting pax from wx, mx, ground!

Ive been thinking of asking to see the TSA agents ID when they hound me in CMH. Im so sick of these jagoffs who are completley retarded and joke on the employee bus about steeling peoples stuff and making people late for their flights. They are almost just as bad as the terrorists themselves.
rant over

A quote I heard attributed to a pilot getting 'the treatment' while going through security- "I can do more damage faster sitting in an airplane stark naked than three terrorists sitting in back with weapons." Or something like that. I think he was disciplined, for being honest. Honestly folks, if any member of the flight crew is intent on causing destruction, TSA screening won't do one thing to detect or stop it. It is bogus and meaningless to screen pilots, and is only to make someone else feel good.

They need to do these spot checks. Yes I know they are a pain in the arse but hey if they don't do them sooner or later someone is going to get the idea that they can get anything through there. Lets be honest there are people who are still trying to do us harm and random inspections do serve as a deterrent. And if you think all of the pilots out there are innocent and would never try brining anything through that they shouldn’t you’re only fooling yourself, and no I am not referring to nail clippers.
On a really unpopular note I am not a big fan of CrewPass either, it’s another weak point that people with bad intentions will try to exploit.

We have avenues to file complaints with TSA yes ?
So if a TSA gets carried away with his or her duties then make a note and file a complaint ,just remember to get name and number .
Just my 2 cents .
They do this because they can and what does not surprise is the lack of an uproar from pax and crews ,if this had been done b4 9/11 ppl would have raised hell about this sort of treatment .
But then again its all about FEELING good .
