Having a high false positive rate isn't really the end of the world for security screening though, as long as they have a low false negative rate, which I don't see many articles complaining. Even at 50% false positive rate, it's 50% time saved compared to patting down every one. Additionally, these machines highlight potential areas to search more carefully, so there's probably even more time saved there.
- close04 7y agoIf your antivirus or car alarm start flooding you with fake warnings you will ignore then more often than not. It’s human nature and you can’t really change it without some drastic measures like severe punishment or constant checks to keep people on their toes. And this last one just kicks the ball further up the ladder but still to a human with the same predisposition.
