out of 6k that is not a high rate.
yummy. some real numbers.
You say it was a "shift". I'll assume 8 hours.
6,000. You don't indicate if that is total passengers or total naked scans. Lets go with your unstated intention that it is 6,000 naked scans.
If a naked scan take 45 seconds to complete. It would require 13,333 minutes to naked scan 6,000 people, or 222.222 hours.
But your shift is only 8 hours long. Therefore we need more machines so that we can fit 222.222 scan hours into 8 hours. To do so would require 27 Naked Scan machines.
SO we have two possibilities:
1) Eyecue worked an 8 hour shift.
6,000 passengers were scanned using 27 machines. Only 17 opted out. That 2.8% opt out rate. That in line with government figures.
OR
2) Eyecue worked an 8 hour shift.
6,000 passengers were scanned using both the WTMD and naked scanner. Only 17 opted out. A 2.8% opt out rate was reported using COMBINED WTMD and naked scan counts. The ratio of naked scan to WTMD was conveniently left out of the story.
Conclusion?
Only #2 is remotely possible. What airport has 27 peepshow booths in operation for 8 hours? Answer NONE.
This also leads us to conclude that government figures of about a 2% opt out rate also includes figures for WTMD scanned passengers as well.
