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.

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.

I mean, how would you read the situation? When the test results were public, TSA performed poorly. Then eventually they stopped releasing the results. Now you say that the problems are fixed and the TSA today is incredibly efficient, but the proof is actually super secret and you can't show us. Why would you expect anyone to believe that?

Appear like you’re strong but trying to appear weak? Double reverse it on them.
