Time to Close the Security Theater

Pilots and air crew have to go through the TSA theater as well. The only immune people are the high-profile politicians.

Not when you get on a plane at the general aviation side of an airport. There are no TSA agents, no metal detectors, and certainly no virtual strip search machines. You just give your plane's tail number as a kind of password and walk right out onto the ramp.

By 'immune' I mean with an ability for recourse. That benefit is not reserved to mere mortals.
