Poll: Travelers OK with beefed-up security

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29 (UPI) -- Most U.S. air passengers are OK with full body scans and enhanced patdowns at airports, a Rasmussen Reports survey released Monday indicates.

Seventy-five percent of likely voters who fly at least once a year said they thought it is appropriate to require some passengers to have either a full-body scan or an enhanced patdown before boarding an airplane, Rasmussen said. Eighteen percent of survey participants said such measures are not appropriate.

The national survey said 51 percent of those surveyed rated airline security as good or excellent, while 16 percent said it is poor.

The survey of 354 likely voters who fly at least once a year was conducted Sunday. The margin of error was 5 percentage points.
