What If Everyone Hyped an Attempted Terrorist Attack And Nobody Cared? Posted by Michael Cohen

Interesting results from a recent CNN poll on the American people's reaction to the attempted terrorist attack against a Northwest flight on Christmas Day. The verdict is in: yawn

Nearly two-thirds of people questioned in the poll say they have a moderate or great deal of confidence in the administration to protect the public from future terrorist attacks, up 2 points from August. Thirty-five percent say they have not much or no confidence at all, down 1 point from August.

A number of Republicans have criticized the president over his handling of the attempted bombing of Northwest flight 253 from Amsterdam to Detroit. But according to the survey, 57 percent approve of the way President Barack Obama's responded, with 39 percent disapproving of how he handled the situation.

The poll also indicates no increase in overall concerns about terrorism. "In October, about a third said they were worried that a family member would become a victim of terrorism, and that number is unchanged in the wake of the attempted attack in December," Holland notes.

"The public seems to react calmly to individual incidents, possibly because most Americans believe that the government cannot prevent every single terrorist plot from occurring."

Six in 10 say the terrorists will always find a way to launch an attack, no matter what the government does, he adds - identical to the number who felt that way during the Bush administration.

"The public seems to react calmly to individual incidents!" What is wrong with these people - don't they know we're at war with Islam! It's these types of mature reactions to one-off terrorist incidents that speak to the real danger is America facing.

Crikey, don't the America people know that Republicans need a campaign theme for the 2010 election?

I would like to share most Americans don't see full-body scanners as a health risk, and more than seven in 10 say they would be unconcerned if asked to go through one at an airport. Women in particular seem to prefer the idea of a full-body scanner to being frisked by a security guard, even when the question makes clear that the guard doing the manual pat-down would also be a woman...
