I've always said this; from a risk management standpoint it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. 121 Pilots and FAs are two entirely different groups of professionals when it comes to our investment in our careers. High school (or G.E.D.) diploma and 3-4 weeks of ground school, boom you're a flight attendant. Pilots (regional, not major) on the other hand have at minimum 6+ years of undergraduate, flight training, flight instruction, etc. Terrorism is about the best bang for the buck (pun intended); so if you're a terrorist organization aren't you going to flip a member of the FA group that has less to lose than a pilot? Common sense would suggest so, but because we need to be politically correct, we tossed in the FAs into a program originally intended just for CASS participating pilots.

Sorry for the confusion. That was for an earlier poster. You're right on the money.

My solution to all this non-sense:
1) All FAs go through pre-check like screening all the time. No KCM whatsoever for them.
2) Psychological screening required for 1st Class medical. Requires new screening every 3 years. You can get second opinion if you fail. After that, you go to OKC for final screening. If fail, can retake in 2 years.
3) No more SIDA badge for FA/Below wing workers. Pre-check like screening.

KCM = Known CREW Member.
Unless things have changed since I retired, the aircraft doesn't go without pilots, and it doesn't go without Flight Attendants. Some of you need to get over yourselves. You're all part of the CREW. CRM ring a bell? Anyone?
There's bent pilots and there's bent FA's. Always have been. Always will be.

So yes the aircraft can most certainly go without flight attendants.

Two thoughts...
1- The process worked, so why should KCM go away?
2- I thought TSA was established for airport security, not drug seizures. Bowing to them on this one only gives TSA more power. No thanks.
