Setting aside the stupidity of considering flight crews as potential terrorists, I guess the mental giants at TSA never figured out that once you engage in one size fits all security, that in the unlikely event that someone in a flight crew might be a disguised terrorist, you've tipped your hand. You line up a dozen crew for full pat downs, if there had been a terrorist in a stolen uniform, I think even he or she would have figured it out and left.
