Don't at all disagree the ASIC is completely useless and just a money drain.
I actually don't see why this can't be handled by the medical renewal/issue automatically.
You go for your medical, it triggers an automatic security check, and it all progresses from there.
I've got no problem with someone looking at my priors, and signing off that I should be ok...or even be interviewed.
Producing your Flight Crew Ticket and Current Medical should be enough to prove you are supposed to be airside......years ago in Uluru, having the key to the plane wasn't enough evidence
