Everything I've read concurs with an extreme view. 70% failure is a good day for them. They accomplish very close to nothing. They catch a lot of dumb people that mistakenly packed firearms, and not much else.
"TSA agents failed 67 out of 70 tests, with Red Team members repeatedly able to get potential weapons through checkpoints...Two years later, a Red Team test at Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport achieved the same 95 percent failure rate to detect explosives, weapons, and illegal drugs. Repeat national tests in 2017 also went badly, "in the ballpark" of an 80 percent failure rate."[1]
