Two CBS News Polls Show Conflicting Sentiments On the Use of Airport Body Scanners

According to a CBSNews.com story, "a new CBS News Poll released Monday found 81 percent of Americans think airports should use these new machines -- including a majority of both men and women, Americans of all age groups, and Democrats, Republicans, and independents alike. Fifteen percent said airports should not use them." 

However, contained within the story is a simple online poll which readers can take.  That poll shows something quite different. 

So what gives?  Why does one CBS poll say 81% of Americans think airports should use body scanners while another CBS poll shows 80% of the online readers the scans and pat downs are an invasion of their civil liberties?  Are online readers that far out of touch with those who responded to the first CBS News poll?  We may never know. 

These conflicting results from the same news agency should raise a few eyebrows about polling practices, questions, and data compilation.
