That seems a bit contentious on your part, although I may be reading it too critically.
My point is that this is not a fight for an incremental roll back. The X-RAY or Grope policy is WRONG for all US citizens, pilots and travelers alike. To lobby for a change that only affects a class of citizens (pilots) is essentially saying it is OK for the traveling class. They need to lobby against the injustice of this across the board, or their righteous indignation rings shallow.
The government made a huge power grab, and it will be perfectly happy negotiating selective steps to roll back the requirements, and still have accomplished the power grab.
That being said, I don't think the pilots (or military for that matter) should have to go through any of this. They have background checks and are entrusted with the care of their passengers.
Having biometric identification as the Union calls for is fine with me, but that is not the issue at hand. If our government really doesn't trust the pilots, or the airlines, there are bigger concerns.
Suffice it to say that most pilots are frequent passengers as well. Our families certainly are. Our lobbying efforts are different for that part of our lives.
