Not quite. No need to exaggerate the number of people who likely encountered the TSA at DIA last month; the denominator of the fraction you are pointing out would be impressive even with the accurate number.

DIA traffic might have reached 5 million in August (it reached a record 4,260,361 in June http://www.flydenver.com/pr/DIAPR_040805_1.pdf ), but not all those people who "flew out of the airport" you work at encountered TSA employees at a checkpoint.

Given that the 5 million number encompasses departing, arriving and connecting passengers, the number that "flew out" and probably encountered the TSA (since connecting pax probably stay airside and don't need to pass thru security) is probably closer to 2.7 million.

DIA claims that about 54% of its passengers are O/D traffic, and the other 46% are connecting.

Granted, SOME connecting passengers probably do pass thru the checkpoint, either because they are changing airlines or becuase they want some fresh air or to smoke or because they are confused or they want to wander around, but it's unlikely that all of them do so.

Add to this the very real prospect that most O/D pax are double counted (once when they depart and once when they arrived home to DIA) and the real number may be only about 1.5 million or so.

Still, even with more realistic numbers, your point is well-taken: Most sheople aren't violated sufficiently to warrant a complaint. Of course, some experts estimate the percentage of reported rapes at a small fraction of the actual number of rapes.

If rape is severely underreported, I would suspect the percentage of people groped and fondled by TSA employees would far exceed the reported number of complaints for some of the same reasons. YMMV.
