Fair question.
Either the students lack intelligence to learn that particular information, or there is a communication barrier, the material is not clear, or the teacher can't teach. Perhaps some of all of those reasons. I'm sure there are other reasons.
What is clear is that TSA is not getting the training job done very well.
I was an instructor during my military service career. I had one person who I had tried everything I could think of to teach one point. I finally cracked the barrier by sketching a diagram of a fairly complex system and for some reason the light came on. The learning curve went up drastically after that moment for that person. In fact he became an instructor some years later.
