The TSA misses about 95% of guns, so chances are you’ll be fine.

The latest report I could find says 70%: https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaelgoldstein/2017/11/09/tsa...
Are there newer stats that show 95%?
Probably an older stat, I do remember reading the 95% figure for an internal audit.

the 25% difference is the bad guys who don't own up to carrying.

Is this for checked bags or carry on bags? I thought we literally walk through metal detectors?

In carry-on bags - bags go through an x-ray machine with an operator looking at so many negatives that it's next to impossible for them to spot a positive case.
Schneier has a nice piece about it in an excerpt from one of his books: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/04/failures_of_a...
Makes no sense why ML isn't used, with a quick peep at a potential positive by a human before they rip your luggage open with a buck knife.

I agree, although remember that it changes the problem for the attacker too: they're switching between trying to fool a (bleary-eyed) general intelligence to simply fooling a ML algorithm... think about how obvious and jarring anti-facial-detection face camoflage is for a human, whereas the machine simply sees nothing.
