I have seen reports over the last couple of days stating that the screeners at MSP missed 17 out of 19 easily identifiable targets. Unless my math is bad that would only be a miss rate of 89%. Of course these are unconfirmed reports so can't be taken at face value.

edit to add:

Clarification: Screeners reportedly missed 17 out of 18 target items. That's 94% by my count.

However, Red Team reported to Fox affiliate KQDS that 17 out of 18 times, the team was able to sneak past the contraband items without any trouble. The team said they had to stop the tests when the failure rate reached 95 percent, though they did not explain why.

Red Team handed this report to KQDS the day before the July 4 weekend. Some 3.5 million passengers were expected to fly out of MSP that weekend.
Must be some sour TSA apples on the Red Team.
