If you're looking for terrorists, it much worse than what you say.
How many terrorists are there really?
For arguments sake I'm going to say 10,000 in USA, with 320M population.
To get the number of false positives on the general population down to the number of real terrorists, so only 50% of the people you stop are innocent, you need a 99.996875% accurate test.
With 98.52 as claimed by this test, you'd have 4.7M false positives and 148 terrorists get false negatives.
