We discovered a serious vulnerability in the Known Crewmember (KCM) and Cockpit Access Security System (CASS) programs used by the Transportation Security Administration.
The TSA press office said in a statement that this vulnerability could not be used to access a KCM checkpoint because the TSA initiates a vetting process before issuing a KCM barcode to a new member. However, a KCM barcode is not required to use KCM checkpoints, as the TSO can enter an airline employee ID manually. After we informed the TSA of this, they deleted the section of their website that mentions manually entering an employee ID, and did not respond to our correction. We have confirmed that the interface used by TSOs still allows manual input of employee IDs.
TSA: lalala i can’t hear you, everything is fine, no issue here
TSA is such a joke. And now we’ll never be rid of them. Thanks Al Quaida, you have successfully achieved your goal of inconveniencing the infidel travelers for decades now. I hope you are happy with yourselves.

They were created for the purpose of security theater. That intent won’t to away with time
It seems also harmful to our humanity of Amendments treating disabled, brown, and black people without suspicion and abuse.
100% not true.
A bar code is required for KCM. Has been for a while now. Manual entries have not been allowed for quite some time.
