I think you will find that they are supposed to be checking that your ID is REAL and your identity thus proved. If you are saying that airside IDs can be faked then that is another issue.

If they are not satisfied that someone is
genuine aircrew
then they should not be letting them pass. They search 'genuine aircrew' because they are told to, again, not their fault and I am sure many of them see the futility in that too.

It's not about getting 'special favours', it's about security. My point was merely to express my opinion regarding this statement by you
This is the same as everyone moaning about being searched, because they themselves (but not security) know they are genuine aircrew.
Perhaps on reflection you may realise that you are implying that security don't know if we are real aircrew. If that is the case then the whole system is failing and therefore COMPLETELY futile! We have IDs with pictures, that swipe etc to PROVE who we are to security.
