Zogby International: "51% Expect Major Terror Attack This Year & 25% Plan to Fly Less

UTICA, NY--Majorities of U.S. adults favor both ethnic and religious profiling and full-body scans at airports as measures to prevent terror attacks; and 69% say they are comfortable sacrificing some privacy for security.

These are among the findings of a Zogby Interactive survey of 2,003 U.S. adults conducted from Jan. 15-18, 2010. This survey has a margin of error of +/-2.2%, with larger margins for sub-groups.

The survey also found that 51% expect a major terror attack in the next year, and 25% plan to fly less frequently in order to lower their risk of being a terror victim. Seventy-five percent agreed that there is too much political correctness in discussion of terrorism.

Ethnic & Religious Profiling

* 54% support ethnic and religious profiling
* 15% do not support such profiling, though they believe it can be effective
* 23% do not support ethnic and religious profiling and don't think it is effective
* 8% chose other or were not sure"
