Airport Reality Check: Few receive pat downs, says former TSA official

Support seems to be slipping for the new airport security measures.

In a poll earlier this month, 81 percent of people supported the new full-body scanners. Now, only 64 percent support them, according to a new Washington Post/ABC News poll. And, 50 percent say the pat-down procedures go too far.

Today on American Morning, Kiran Chetry talks to former FAA and TSA security official Charlotte Bryan.

Bryan, now a consultant for Command Consulting Group, explains how few air travelers will encounter the scans and pat downs this weekend, and if the public scrutiny is justifiable or overly sensitive.
