Well, I don't think so, at least not intrinsically. But apparently a lot of people do. I wonder how the results would come out if you said "molecular manufacturing" instead?
Can somebody please do a poll that would run like the following: "Do you believe that your fellow Americans are so frighteningly ignorant they should not even be allowed to vote in meaningless elections?"

It's too early to get an accurate poll on nanotechnology; people don't know what it is and even if you tell them, they haven't given it any thought.
Just make sure you poll them before they read Michael Crichton's book, "Swarm".
