So less then 0.75% of the people referred for extra screening were
arrested on various charges.
 
I would think you may be getting pretty much the same results by picking
people by random... or has anyone on the list better numbers about the
percentage of people traveling by plane that would get arrested for some
reason if checked thouroghly?
 
 
cheers,

        The teams have referred more than 40,000 people for extra
screening since January 2006. Of those passengers, nearly 300 were
arrested on charges including carrying concealed weapons and drug
trafficking. TSA officials will not say whether the screeners have
helped nab potential terrorists, but they say terrorists and other
lawbreakers exhibit the same behavioral clues.
