Dutch to use full body scanners for US flights

None

The Dutch government says it will immediately begin using full body scanners on flights to the United States to prevent future terrorist attacks like the Christmas Day attempt by a young Nigerian.

 

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, 23, managed to board a Northwest Airlines flight to Detroit from Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport carrying explosives but failed to successfully detonate them. In a preliminary report, the Dutch government says his plan to blow up the Detroit-bound aircraft was professional but its execution was "amateurish." (AP)
