Or keep the program as is, and revoke privileges, enforce the penalties, etc.

I did fly with a CA one time who didn’t have KCM, no idea why but based on my entirely subjective observations whatever it was he 100% deserved it

Nope. Entirely separate. TSA’s purview should be Transportation Safety. If the drug cops want to screen the airports, they can do it as their own program and coordinate with TSA how that’s going to work.

If one wants to look for something that isn't a prohibited item (guns, bombs, knives, hand grenades, Tomahawk missiles, Mark 48 torpedoes, water bottles and my aftershave, evidently) one should have to have a warrant supported by probable cause.

Losing toiletries to TSA is my least favorite thing to do. "Uh, you're not in uniform? Wait, is that a uniform?" "It isn't, or is it? Either way, you know I sit at the pointy end, right? Confiscating shampoo, shaving cream, isn't going to change the destination or the trajectory of the plane...."

You guys should stop showing up to work drunk, it's messing things up for the rest of us. Thanks

The uniform or not really shouldn't make a difference. Identity validation is the basis of all real security, and at this point, between my two TSA CHRCs in the last 6 years, Global Entry, the Air Line's background check process and RAPBACK holding it all together, you would think everyone involved would be pretty damn sure who First Officer Blue is.

I don't know, I like the looks on the smurf's faces when they pull my roller bag aside during a USP check and see the contents. I just give them a coy smile and googly eyes as they rifle through my makeup bag and untangle the flat iron.

I assure you, astroglide residue isn’t going to flag in the explosive analyzer

There are...many...better alternatives, but good to know.

Crisco?

As long as it's quick I don't really care what it is. There's some places where it's like "Oh no! I got randomed! *turns around and puts bag on belt that's 3 feet away and moves on with my day*
It's the ones where it's like "Ok well you got randomed, you're gonna walk half a mile to the next terminal and squeeze in at PreCheck" that annoy me.

 

[BEEF SUPREME]

Still have pilots here who support(ed) FAs being in KCM?

I think anyone who can't remember where their firearm is or if they brought it to the airport or not, should be kicked out of the profession entirely.

I prefer conservative tears. They're sweeter.

Yup. It’s great knowing that the guy giving me the blue-glove special gets less background investigation by the TSA than I do.

My civil disobedience is using my Global Entry card (issued by DHS and with their logo on it) at Precheck. I greatly enjoy them telling me that drivers licenses work better with their machines.

In the interest of attempting to protect personal freedoms while giving the appearance of airport security we seem to have managed to have neither.

I love that my GE card won’t work after the “Real ID” implementation at the checkpoints but my paper passport book will

Which I would be less annoyed with if I don't get stuck behind Karen, who has never been to an airport before. If it's a dedicated crew line, it wouldn't be awful.

It won't be. It will be the most horrible amalgamation of incompetence and neglect.

Until somebody important keeps having their flight delayed because their crew is stuck in security. Again.
