(Think the airlines would have liked some of that money spent on my travels?)

To only poll those that fly provides a false number as well - in general, they have already decided that it is (somewhat?) acceptable. Or, perhaps, they have resigned themselves to the fact that, unlike for me, alternate forms of transportation were not available for their travel plans.

Eventually, if you only poll those that fly, you'll end up with near 100% acceptability of screening methods as only those who accept it will fly...
