Americans prefer security

A security screening rebuttal, noisily promoted by some of the US media, seems to have been ignored by the American travelling public.

Typically at St. Louis’s International Airport very few have chosen pat-downs instead of full-body scans, according to the Transportation Security Administration.

Small groups of protesters holding signs have shown up at some airports to demonstrate against the heightened security measures but reports seem to indicate that this is usually happening with TV camera’s in tow.  It does seem that for the most part travellers stoically accept that body scans are a necessary evil, rather like security queues. www.tsa.gov
