Most people believe the TSA is effective and is keeping us safe from terrorists. You'd need a way to convince everyone that it's not true to avoid the backlash.

- alextingle 14y agoReally?? I find that astonishing. Do you have a citation?
- taligent 14y ago54% of people recently polled believe that the TSA is doing a Good or Excellent job. Only 12% of people believe they are doing a bad job. http://www.gallup.com/poll/156491/Americans-Views-TSA-Positive-Negative.aspx http://www.gallup.com/poll/156491/Americans-Views-TSA-Positi...
- ScottBurson 14y agoDownvoted? Yes, it's bad news, but let's not shoot the messenger, shall we?
- slurgfest 14y agoIt would be just as fair to get a citation for any claim that most people think otherwise...
- r0s 14y agoMost people don't have an opinion on the issue either way.
- taligent 14y agoActually you're wrong. Only 4% of people recently polled have no opinion on whether the TSA is doing a good job or not.
- r0s 14y agoIs this a real poll? Why do you think you can just say that without qualifying it? Another recent poll shows that less than 4% of statistics are based on real data. Edit: Found it here: http://www.gallup.com/poll/156491/Americans-Views-TSA-Positive-Negative.aspx http://www.gallup.com/poll/156491/Americans-Views-TSA-Positi... Each sample includes a minimum quota of 400 cell phone respondents and 600 landline respondents per 1,000 national adults. Results for this Gallup poll are based on telephone interviews conducted July 9-12, 2012, with a random sample of 1,014 adults. Landlines huh? Sounds like old conservative people.
- taligent 14y agoGallup is highly respected and aren't stupid. If you actually continued reading: "Samples are WEIGHTED by gender, age, race, Hispanic ethnicity, education, region, adults in the household, and phone status (cell phone only/landline only/both, cell phone mostly, and having an unlisted landline number)."
- briandear 14y agoWhat does Hispanic ethnicity have to do with anything?
- chris_wot 14y agoA decent question! Another question - read the results here: http://www.gallup.com/file/poll/156494/TSA_Air_Travel_120808.pdf http://www.gallup.com/file/poll/156494/TSA_Air_Travel_120808... What does smoking or drinking have to do with this poll?
