EU nations divided on use of airport body scanners
Fearing a rift with the United States, the European Union said Thursday it may force resistant member states to use the full-body scanners being pushed by the Obama administration in the wake of the failed Christmas Day bombing.
Britain, the Netherlands and Italy already have joined Washington in announcing plans to install more of the devices, which can "see" through clothing, but there are deep divisions among European nations, with countries such as Spain and Germany calling the scanners intrusive and a potential health risk.
