Check the pilot won't take over the plane

Bob Frankston's "favorite story from what I think of as the T.S.A. Follies...

...A uniformed pilot waits impatiently at a checkpoint for 10 minutes while two screeners from the Transportation Security Administration scrutinize every item in his carry-on bag. After he was allowed to go on his way, he explained why it took so long. “They told me they had to make sure I wasn’t carrying anything that would allow me to take over an airplane,” he said, rolling his eyes."

Wonderful.
