I suspect, but do not know for certain, that posting such statistics on a per-checkpoint basis could be problematic. If the actual rate of TSO wrongdoing is low (as, after all, we all hope it is), publishing such statistics might actually end up inadvertently releasing confidential information. E.g. if you post that one TSO at this checkpoint was involved in X this month, it becomes a little easier to figure out who that one person was.

That doesn't mean it couldn't be done, of course. It just means that you may have to aggregate in much larger units ... say, nationwide.
