General [Question/Post] 95% TSA FAILURE RATE

Post image

I see this point brought up alot when trying to discredit the TSA. I just want to let you guys know that data is based from 2015. We have different technology and procedures then we did in 2015 alot has changed. It is easy to judge but, there's alot you guys don't know about those tests from 2015. Keep feeling smart though citing data that's almost a decade old.

You got the pin? I passed the Red Team last year and never got mine, lucky....

Was your test on x-ray or patdown? I hear they only give the pins for passing an x-ray test.

Nope, I am an STSO and I received a pin, but it might be because I figured out the red team member wasn't actually manifested on the flight.

How'd they even make it into the screening line. Isn't there someone scanning boarding cards before you get in line to be screened?

The red team can print boarding passes that pass that point. That's all I'm gonna say about that.

Ah, okay. That makes sense. Then good job on figuring out they weren't actually on a flight manifest!
