Fake pilots never manage to get onto planes do they...and before anyone points out that it's very rare...perhaps terrorists don't try to get fake pilots onboard because they know they are subject to the same level of secirity as pax by cwatters
So based on your statement, you agree with us, don't screen the pilot screen the ID. Or did you mean that since anyone can fake a pilot ID, better not take chances and check for weapons etc?
I operate out of a major US airport and do not get screened, I swipe my pass through a reader, then punch in my code, the turnstile lets me go through while security watches, after passing through, they make sure the picture on the pass is me, quick and easy.
