Hoorah - that's an arrest rate of 0.0036%

So 2,700 arrests as a result of 75,000,000 records is a hit rate of 0.0036%.

And that's arrests, *NOT* convictions, so we can assume that a good proportion of those won't even have led to charges being brought.

With that kind of result, wouldn't it be cheaper and more accurate just to stop every twenty-ninth passenger carrying a duty-free bag in their left hand and wearing a green hat?

Paris, for all the obvious reasons...
