Depends more on how you get to the "majority." If each person who travels at all during a year counts once then yes, the majority likely support the TSA in their current incarnation, or at least are not opinionated about it. If you count each time someone passes though a checkpoint then frequent fliers get more votes and the numbers are skewed dramatically.
