Is there a reason to believe that TSA equipment is suppose to only alarm dangerous items? A system that alarms on just about everything by design, can't really be said to have false positives. A vague system creates a great defense against legal complaints.
And TSA would say "Sign up for precheck if you don't like the scanner."
