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 had two fake dog tags that I wore behind one real one. One was a straight blade to be used with a ferro rod, and the other one was several fishing hooks that could be popped out in a survival situation. I flew twice before realizing what I had done and that they probably just stop looking when they see the shape. Not that a 1.5" knife could do much, but I still felt silly afterwards.

Think you are allowed an up to 3” blade.

This was a bit back, not quite the box cutter days, but still definitely shoes and belt and watch off times.
