Amsterdam airport buys 60 body scanners, denies lax security
Amsterdam airport operator Schiphol Group said on Monday it would buy 60 body scanners and denied allegations of lax security after a Nigerian was charged with trying to blow up a plane that took off from Schiphol.
The airport has begun using 15 body scanners, which use radio waves to see through a person's clothing and spot hidden weapons or packages, and will buy 60 more in the coming months, Schiphol's Chief Executive Jos Nijhuis said in a statement. (Reuters)
