Amidst no small amount of TSA criticism stemming from the TSA encounter described on the Johnny Edge blog, CBS News has released poll results showing that 81% of those they surveyed think full body scanners in airports are okay. Sounds like compelling evidence of acceptance, no?
But think about this. The poll was based on successful phone interviews which also included questions about a person's gender, political persuasion, and age. Non-successful attempts (i.e. those who refused or hung up) were not counted. So the 1,137 respondents in the CBS poll are already those who care little about privacy to begin with.
Personally, I hang up on any poll takers. I also don't participate in online polls that ask for personal information. Nor do I click on unsolicited links or participate in free offers tied to surveys as these are generally scams.
And, like Johnny Edge aka John Tyner, I'd also never agree to a full body scan.
