>TSA isn't great on their false positive rate, does more intense screening, and isn't being staffed by hungover 20-somethings. So maybe the false negative rate didn't actually increase by much?
TSA is abysmal on the false negative rate for things that actually matter. The FNR for actual weapons and explosives is somewhere between 80 and 95%[1]. It's because they waste all of their attention looking for nail clippers and water bottles.
Even an FNR of 50% would be a massive improvement.
