I was under the impression that crew goes through the screening checkpoint whenever they fly and that they are exempt from shoes and LGA's. I was under the impression that, even at their home base, crew with SIDA are screened if they want to fly that day. If they are just going for a meeting or training, they use their SIDA. Has this changed, or was my understanding incorrect?

I understand that FFDO's always go up the exit lane, just like armed LEO's.
