You accused Pistole of prioritizing speed over rigorous screening, thus leading to the test failures.
If that's the case - speed and efficiency are incompatible with thorough invasive screening - then the failure rate should be higher in the Pre lanes because they are taking 'shortcuts' to speed the process.
By 'shortcuts', I think we all mean reducing the amount of clothing removed and the frequency of having a TSO physically lay hands on you.
TSOs are missing things because they are on their cellphones or engaging in personal conversations. Those who are
supposed to be monitoring their behavior are either 1) clustered in a group of STSOs and LTSOs and toady TSOs standing off to the side playing games on their phones or chatting or 2) sitting in their FSD office far away from checkpoints and baggage inspection.
