Bias in Questionaires

I just completed GVU's 4th Survey Questionaire. I do think in general they
are providing a good and valuable service to the net but did it strike
anyone else in the group that their list of questions relating to credit
card use over the net was IMHO incredibly biased. Questionaires should be
structured neutrally so as not to influence the outcome. Frankly I thought
that list of questions (to anyone not particularly clued up) led inexorably
to the conclusion that sending credit card information over the Net was
dangerous. They could have simply asked do you believe in Mom, Apple Pie
and the United States of America to get the same result.
