Support for Body Scanners Dropping
MSNBC reporting on a poll that shows 64% support them. They report this as big support.

However, support was 80% just a few days ago. A 16% drop in a few days is pretty significant.

Enhanced pat downs opposed by 50% with 48% supporting.

6. I shutter to think.
With the Patriot Act, so many of our rights were surrendered. And now, under this "democratic" president, they just kicked it up a notch. i don't know what's next... but I know it's not good. And I know this administration does not give half a fuck what we the people want or thing.

2. You could drive a poll in any direction you want...

If those polled have no facts. That has been the case almost universally until now. And it pisses the hell out of me that he MSM will spin these polls as they do, while ignoring their own negligence in reporting and informing.

It seems to me that most people are sheep, and if they hear the phrase "its for your security" seem to go along with it. Even here on free-thinking liberal DU, there are those with this attitude. Usually its the small minority who question new security procedures. Interesting to see if this gains traction among the wider public.
