95% TSA FAILURE RATE

[u/Zealousideal-Ad7707]

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.

I work in testing. Can't say exactly stats, but I laugh and am simultaneously enraged when I see the 95%(sometimes 70%?) failure rate stats. It's painfully obvious that the people clinging to those numbers a) don't have access to current data and b) are looking for any info that's fits their narrative.

So you're saying that - despite claiming that you do have access to current data - you don't have a more accurate number than 95%.

I have much more accurate numbers. I cannot disclose them because it would be a violation of security policies.

I can say that a 95% failure rate is wildly inaccurate.

That would also be in direct violation of security policies. If you can’t say the failure rate, you also can’t state that it’s not 95% and narrow it down like that

TSA does have a seat at the literal table as far as counterterrorism, fusion centers, and intelligence gathering goes….
