Long ago, when crewmembers were first required to go through security, a senior FAA official was asked (off the record) how long this was going to continue. He said: "Indefinitely. We know that properly-identified crewmembers are not a security threat, but we found that having them screened greatly increases passenger compliance with the program."

If this is the case, then passenger squawks about the new screening procedures could make it even less likely that crewmembers will be allowed to bypass them.

Other unions are making this a priority? The other unions have not done a single thing other then a couple of press releases. Only one union is actually spending money and working the people who can make a change. The others are riding ALPA's coat tails and hoping they solve the problem and they don't have to spend a dime.
