ABC News / Washington Post poll of the public at large, Wednesday 24 November:

64% support new scanners, 32% opposed
50% say new hand searches go too far, 48% approve of them
Margin of error +/- 5%

USA Today / Gallup poll of recent fliers, Tuesday 23 November:

67% believe new scanners more effective, although 42% say they're "angered" or "bothered" by them
57% bothered or angered by new hand searches
