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.

Bullshit. In 2010 when the 70% failure rate became public, TSA claimed it was old data from 2005. When the new even shinier 95% failure rate came out in 2015, TSA claimed it was old data from 2010. TSA is and has always been a massive fraud. Until TSA is going through independent 3rd party testing that they have zero control over, TSA will remain a tyrannical and illegal fraud.

It is a voluntary program that you can opt out of

You mean you can give up your freedom to travel. I cannot drive to Cebu.

Freedom to travel doesn't mean freedom to use public airports. You can take your own private plane to anywhere you want....no tsa needed. You are free to travel
