And I worked for 4 years on one such small part (internally called UFAC), trying to help potential false positives of such a system.

As for classifier with a true positive rate of 99.99999%, I don't know much but I don't think it's possible. But if there's someone out there who might know, then they should say so.

No classification system can be perfect; we are in agreement there.

From the outside, it doesn't seem like a strictly data science problem. Instead, it seems like a design / product / brand expectation issue as well.
