1> Most places these days crew member's name checked off against (airline supplied) gen dec.
2> Operating tech crew have no requirement to wander back and forth through security.
3> A swipe style ID card with secure biodata including airline/rank/picture/licence number in concert with 1> would solve most identification issues.
4> Security to have computer link to responsible Aviation Authority data base to compare biodata information.
5> Many airports screen aircrew twice and passengers once...why?
6> Many airports moving screening to the gate rather than the terminal...making it infinitely more difficult for a fake pilot to succeed.
I have not suggested aircrew should NOT be screened enroute to their aircraft I have said
The type of screening that aircrew are being subjected to at the present time is a criminal waste of resources.
Just because something is theoretically possible is no reason to treat career aircrew with a long history as such as terrorists.
