Most Fake Bombs Missed by Screeners 2007
"Tests earlier in 2002 showed screeners missing 60% of fake bombs. In the late 1990s, tests showed that screeners missed about 40% of fake bombs, according to a separate report by the Government Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress."
What is interesting is that as of 2015, according to DHS Inspector General John Roth private screeners fair no better than TSA, yet the above 2007 article suggested they did. According to the article and a CNN article covering the same topic, private screeners were constantly tested. Today though neither group is better than the other.
