I may be old fashioned but I feel, and it is only my opinion, that "every fifth or six bag" is not the same as "all bags".
All checked bags are screened. A bag doesn't have to be opened to be screened. I think the "5th or 6th bag" refers to the opening of the bag.
Plus, it has been my experiance, that you can go 20 to 30 bags without opening any of them. Then on other occasions, it seems every other bag has to been gone thru. Alot depends on what's in the bag to begin with.
