You get better when the better player has somewhat more skill than you. Enough of a challenge that it pushes you yet not too difficult that you want to quit.

Only TSA could consider failure a good thing. What the test shows is that their screeners are incompetent. The checkpoint is not the place to be playing games and hoping they get better. Train them, and train them well.
