I'm somewhat appalled that some professional commercial pilots see themselves as being above the needs of security. If you bypass security you may make life more convenient for yourselves, but you open a gaping insecure hole for everyone else.
I'm afraid your logic doesn't make a lot of sense to me, maybe you could help me, you see, at some point in the security process, pilots must access the airside of the airport, pilot's are not passengers and they shouldn't be screened as such, people that have access to airside, need to be screened separately, engineers, ramp personnel of all sorts. If you are so PRO security, focus in on the passengers. You say, anyone can get a pass and a uniform, well that's what a staff checkpoint is there for, they focus on who is staff, and who is not staff, I guess by your logic, no one should have access to airplanes because anyone can fake an ID? Who will fly?
