It's not about being professional or even us being "clubby". We are required, as part of our job description to take control and Command of the aircraft - it happens on every flight, so screening us for weapons or devices that would allow us to take control of said aircraft is pretty darn pointless...you, on the other hand sit on the comfy side of the flight deck door, you are not allowed to attempt to take control or Command, so no matter how professional you are you rightly will continue to be screened.

Sorry if that offends, but there is a difference, hence this thread.
