However, unlike back then, it is strictly verboten to enter the SIDA and attempt to board an aircraft without having gone through the PSC. Being caught doing so will result in immediate revocation of credentials and probably termination from your job as the credential is probably essential to your job duties. And don't think you can just move to another airport to get another credential - folks who get revoked are not eligible to get the credential again at any other TSA controlled airport - gubmint has a long memory.
The morning I sat watching airport workers entering the secure area at DFW several years ago still disturbs me. Employees entering at an entrance adjacet to a checkpoint with all manner of things that could conceal contraband including a small rolling bag, multiple 2 liter beverages and so forth, all without benefit of inspection. I know the argument is they have all had security checks. Well Snoden had clearances too! As long as employees enter without inspection all the passenger inspections amount to squat!
