THE HAGUE, Netherlands: 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.
In a preliminary report, the Dutch government says his plan to blow up the Detroit-bound aircraft was professional but its execution was "amateurish."
An earlier Dutch investigation said all security checks were correctly carried out in Amsterdam and American authorities had cleared the passenger list.
