I understand your point. But was it worth it? That is how the judgement is passed at the end of the day.
No one is exempt from being picked for the AIT machine. Since your career consists of an exploitable avenue from a security standpoint, you should know that.
Eyecue, is it your position that a free people should just roll over in the face of tyranny?

edit to add: Are TSA employees screened via AIT Strip Search Machines when going on duty?

Seems there is some unfinished business to be taken care of.

.
I dont remember the name of the movie about the fake pilot. Two things come to mind.
1. He SAYS that he is who he is.
2. A uniform is all anyone has to go by and those and the ID that is with it can be fraudulently obtained or stolen. Hence the AIT referral.

As far as number two, didn't the professional TSA Travel Document Checker verify this persons ID is in possession of the right person and that the ID is in fact valid?

Or is this another area that TSA cannot perform correctly?
