Most of those are simply statistics released to show what the agency is actually preventing from getting on planes. Some are more detailed than others, but if someone brings a gun or explosives or something of that nature into the checkpoint, it is just reported as that. I don't see much info released on the majority of people that have done that. The only place most of that info comes from is blotter reports or FOIA requests that are responded to... Most of that stuff is beyond my scope of ability to explain, I don't work at HQ so I am not privy to all the reasoning behind the release of info. I am merely observing what I interpret to be trends by the agency.
