I have no problem with the line cutting.

But, under the rationale that there is no need to check the pilot for explosives because he can crash the plane himself, why check any pilot?

Also, who's to say that the pilot is not bringing in extra explosives and guns to give to others in the sterile area to be used on other fights?

Seems to me to be consistent, all pilots should be checked (including those who are allowed to carry a gun), or no pilots should be checked.

Flght crew are allowed to cut to help ensure planes leave on time.

I do agree with both of these procedures.
