The passenger had smuggled explosives his underwear past a metal detector at an airport screening facility. As a result, the station Security Administration (TSA) proposed installing full-body scanners to replace detectors at the nation's largest airports. This proposal resulted in strong objections from privacy advocates who considered the scanners an invasion of privacy. On January 5-6, 2010 USA Today conducted a poll of 542 adults to learn what proportion of airline travelers approved of using full- body scanners. The poll results show that 455 of the respondents felt full body scanners would improve airline security and 423 indicated that they approved of using the devices. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the results of the poll justify concluding that over 80% of airline travelers feel that the use of full -body scanners will improve airline security Use alpha=.05.
