Just take your contraband through the exit, put on your Cinnabon shirt and grab a cup of coffee. If TSA asks while dumping the terminal, just say you are on break.
Airport employees don't get screened (some not at all, others not to the same level as passengers) in the FIRST place, so why would the TSA re-screen them after a terminal dump. If AQ wants to infiltrate Cinnabon, they can get anything they want into the terminal.
