Hmmm. So almost everyone at a national laboratory will be free from screening.
It is good to know that a top secret clearance makes one magically immune from identity theft. And I am sure every screener in American can identify every member of the Senate, the House, and every researcher at the labs by face.
This simply illustrates that screening is about "security as a feeling", it is about teaching people to shut up and stand quietly in line. Any actual security outcome is orthogonal.

Jean

Airline pilots but not cabin crew???

Why don't we go all the way and exempt all licensed airplane pilots?
The sort of rank elitism displayed here should not, let us hope, sit well with the American public.

"The TSA memo proposes to minimize the number of passengers who must
be patted down at checkpoints. It also recommends that certain
categories of passengers be exempt from airport security screening,
such as members of Congress, airline pilots, Cabinet members, state
governors, federal judges, high-ranking military officers and people
with top-secret security clearances."
