That is an interesting statement.  Tipping Point claims to only have one
customer experience a false positive and it was based on Chat traffic.
During a SANS webcast, Los Alamos National Laboratory seemed to back that
data (https://www.sans.org/webcasts/show.php?webcastid=90514).

What test(s) have you done showing Tipping Point is prone to false positives
based on their signatures/filters?
