Possible, but it's also possible the author didn't considering how accurate a lot of TSA's other statements are.
And no, if someone did that poorly on their test they would not receive the additional bonus, nor would they receive much of a pass bonus if at all.
I'm not talking about individuals. I'm talking about despite TSA's rigorous "testing" where screeners can pass with a high score, TSA still has an abysmal failure rate when it comes to detecting threats in the real world. Read the GAO report.
