I've sat through a few of those breifings. The various times the TSA comes to the flight line much humour ensues.
I like to call it Operation Common Sense. We learn exciting things like "To Report suspicious activity" and "Be Alert". But as others have noted we have a 100% success rate in the corporate air world at stopping ter-wists.
