"Calloway was not flying the plane!"
Yes, that's the meaning of the word deadheading. Before you complain someone didn't read an article, you might want to make sure that you understand what they did say.

However, that makes the reference to this incident even more incomprehensible. Who said anything about off-duty pilots?
Being a qualified pilot (or dressed as one) is not the point; the point, as has been stated many times now in this discussion, is that:
1. whoever is flying the plane today does not need to go through security, because they'll end up in the cockpit anyway
2. whatever piece of ID is enough to get someone at the commands of a commercial airliner today should also be enough to get past ordinary security procedures designed for passengers
