95 percent failure rate? I've heard of "security theater", but this is on a par with Gilbert and Sullivan.
It ain't about safety. It is about control. Hey sheep, how ya like them sheepdogs?
That's from June of last year. When I was this, I thought maybe they were announcing 2016's annual fail.
Shoot, missed that. Oh well, I'm sure they're all crack operatives by now. Or on crack.

It would take on the large side about 5 medium trained Islamic operators to take over a whole wing of most major airports.
It's all total bullshit security theater. "Please remove your shoes." Fuck you, idiot.
Still, you must admit that Melvin Carraway was the very image of a modern major manager.
