Great example of how the TSA's attempts at spin on their blog are alienating people. They keep quoting the CBS poll that found that 80% of the people are in favor of scanners (if you don't tell them about the naked photos or radiation risk or lack of effectiveness), and ignoring the CBS poll from the next day that came to the opposite conclusion -- that 80% opposes the scanners once they know the fact.
obviously both are unscientific internet polls but repeatedly citing the one and not the other is just so transparent ...
- tptacek 16y agoThe poll the TSA is citing isn't an Internet poll. It counts more than the other poll you're citing to oppose it. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/11/15/politics/main7057902.shtml?tag=contentMain;contentBody http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/11/15/politics/main70579...

- tptacek 16y agoWho says what? CBS says the TSA's favorite poll was a real poll. The commenter says both are Internet polls, and is wrong. Or do you mean, "who says Internet polls aren't real polls?" Answer: in addition to "everybody", also "common sense", since Internet polls are self-selected.
