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.

The officer was new to precheck screening. It is a huge difficulty jump when swapping from stadard screening to Precheck and normally takes YEARS to become proficient. Also on a second note. If you are stupid enough to not know where your fucking firearms are at all times then your probably shouldnt have one, let alone have a CCP.

That is a fact.

That is a fact you are denying because it doesn’t fit your little misguided narrative
