Really?
So that's why all the FAs walk thought the screening machine carrying their Starbucks cofffee beecuase 'they are subject to the same restrictions"?

No in the US an airline employee is exempt and car bring on whatever they want! So while you or I can't bring on that sprite, they can. (because it's a useless action anyway)

Liquids, Gels and Aerosols (LGAs) Restrictions

Date: December 6, 2013

With the implementation of Known Crewmember (KCM) at some locations, we've heard there is some confusion regarding the current TSA and United Liquid, Gel and Aerosol (LGA) guidance as it pertains to crewmembers.

The FAOM page 17.14 outlines those specific circumstances under which crewmembers are exempt from the TSA LGAs restrictions. Generally speaking, working crewmembers both domestically and internationally, are exempt from these TSA LGA restrictions.
