Dutch Launch Full-Body Scans

Thanks to the attempted Christmas Day bombing, the Netherlands will immediately begin screening passengers on U.S.-bound flights using a full-body scanner. The Dutch government released a report on the attack on Wednesday calling the Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's plan to blow up a flight over Detroit a professional venture with "amateurish" execution. Interior Minister Guusje Ter Horst said "it is not exaggerating to say the world has escaped a disaster." He added that Dutch authorities found no "suspicious matters" that would have given them reason to classify Abdulmutallab as "a high-risk passenger."
