A few months ago, I thought no one cared. I have written many articles on the TSA's naked full body scanners with little notice. Then suddenly those articles are on fire, and an awakening is happening in America as a revolt against the Transportation Security Administration is putting pressure on the TSA to get out of our airports.
That's why I am not sure I believe a just released CBS poll that claims over 80% of Americans are okay with the naked full body scanners in the airports.
CBS writes: Although some civil rights groups allege that they represent an unconstitutional invasion of privacy, Americans overwhelmingly agree that airports should use the digital x-ray machines to electronically screen passengers in airport security lines, according to the new poll. Eighty-one percent think airports should use these new machines -- including a majority of both men and women, Americans of all age groups, and Democrats, Republicans, and independents alike. Fifteen percent said airports should not use them.
Surely our government hasn't gotten Americans so afraid of the boogiemen living in caves that they are this eager to comply with what's going on in the airports today. I just don't believe this poll. What is your opinion of this poll?
