Are there regular studies examining broader public opinion on this? I have to assume that at some point it is going to shift, and suddenly scaling back (or privatizing) airport screening will be a no-brainer.

The problem is that it only takes some passive support to establish the system initially, but removing it takes the majority of people actively complaining.
