Germany scraps airport body scanners after false alarms...

Germany has decided against installing body scanners across the country’s airports after a pilot scheme in Hamburg was blighted by false alarms, the interior ministry announced on Wednesday.

“Based on the test results from the pilot scheme, Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich has decided not to install body scanners in airports for the moment,” said a statement from the ministry.

“The current generation of body scanners ... is not yet ready for widespread implementation.

“The federal police are going to take a closer look at the whole question and we hope we will soon have access to the kind of equipment that can meet our security goals while at the same time meeting passenger requirements.” More...
