Quote from: Hards Alumni on March 25, 2025, 08:19:36 AMWhen I see pilots and flight crew bypass the line at security they usually just flash their badge.  I am not sure I've ever seen TSA check for a passport.

Is that legally allowed?  It can't be.

Dunno, just my anecdotal observations.  My guess is TSA will be doing checks on those from now on if they haven't been!  ;D

Ya, this is clearly a situation where people weren't doing their job.  Not to mention a pilot who's mishap is inexplicable and down right ridiculous.

Why not?  You don't have to flash your passport to anyone if you're boarding a private jet flying abroad.  Just present it to border control at the destination.  Any United hub, including LAX, has international flights departing from the same terminal as domestic.  So the security line procedure is the same if you're flight to Shanghai as if you're flying to Seattle.  I flew from EWR to Tokyo 2 weeks ago and didn't take my passport out of my pocket until I was boarding the flight.

TSA is a domestic security agency, not immigration or border control agency.  For someone who travels as much as you, I'd assume you'd understand/know that.

It was an amusingly irresponsible action for the pilot, but it didn't break any laws and won't affect any policy cause it was a fluke.  Sometimes stupid stuff happens, it doesn't always mean some catastrophic failure or need for changes.
