According to Senior Vice-President Doug Anderson “Regardless of the fact that Canadians tend to feel that airport security is already strict enough, most support the recent decision to use full body scanners at this country’s airports.  This study tends to demonstrate Canadians are comfortable with the decision and expect it will have a positive impact on the safety of air travel.  Opinion is split over whether this decision was an overreaction to the failed attack on Christmas Day, but even most of those who see it as an overreaction support of the decision to install the scanners.”
