Forty-seven percent of American leisure travelers reported they either “agreed” or “strongly agreed” that airport screening techniques were not sufficient. Only one-in-five travelers believe that passenger screening is adequate. Travelers are also seven times more likely to prefer full-body scanning technology versus pat downs at security checkpoints. In a follow-up question, Destination Analysts discovered that the majority (57 percent) of travelers are either “comfortable” or “extremely comfortable” with the use of such technologies – with only about 16 percent being “uncomfortable” or “extremely uncomfortable” with full-body scans.
