Comment: We are surprised this poll shows relatively strong support for the new scanners compared
to the major backlash the press at large has been reporting.
|
Comment: Al Qaeda is nothing if not innovative in developing new ideas for terror. We are lucky
most recent attempts have fallen flat.

Comment: This debate is largely a roll of the dice as to whether it's better to do a quick upgrade
now or invest in a new aircraft in the long run. It will be interesting to watch Boeing and Airbus as they
choose their strategies.
|
Comment: Taiwan is always an interesting subject, and frankly we are surprised support for the
region is as weak as this and other polls we've done indicate.

Comment: We expected a strong opinion one way or the other and were somewhat surprised at this split
decision.
|
Comment: Polls regarding Israel are always contentious, yet this one shows pretty strong support for
the nation buying advanced weaponry.
