CBS 5 Poll: Bay Area Residents Feel Safe Flying

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5) ― A CBS 5 scientific poll of 500 Bay Area adults, conducted by Survey USA, shows most still feel safe flying and don't plan to change their future travel plans despite Thursday's foiled airline terror plot by the British.

Below's a breakdown of the poll's findings. The survey has a margin of error ranging from 3.4 to 4.5%.

In general, how safe would you feel flying on a commercial airline today? Very safe? Somewhat safe? Not very safe? Or not safe at all?

36% Very Safe
41% Somewhat Safe
13% Not Very Safe
9% Not Safe At All
2% Not Sure

If you had plans to travel by air in the next three months, would you keep those plans? Or would you change those plans?

79% Keep Plans
14% Change Plans
7% Not Sure

Are you changing any travel plans because of concerns about possible terror threats?

13% Yes
82% No
5% Not Sure

When the federal Department of Homeland Security announces an elevated risk of terrorist attack, how seriously do you take those warnings? Very seriously? Somewhat seriously? Not very seriously? Or not at all seriously?

41% Very Seriously
34% Somewhat Seriously
17% Not Very Seriously
7% Not At All Seriously
1% Not Sure

British officials stopped a terror plot that would have involved blowing up ten planes in mid-air using liquid explosives carried on the plane in carry-on baggage. Airport security is now prohibiting passengers from bringing any liquids on board a plane in carry-on baggage, including beverages, shampoo, perfume, and shaving cream. Do you think these new security measures go too far? Do not go far enough? Or are just about right?

27% Go Too Far
20% Do Not Go Far Enough
50% Just About Right
3% Not Sure

Do you think ALL carry-on baggage should be prohibited?

21% Yes
69% No
10% Not Sure
