Wear your good underwear

The Netherlands will immediately begin use of its 15 full body scanners to analyze passengers flying to the United States.  The increased security comes in the wake of Friday's failed attempt by a Nigerian passenger to detonate an explosive device aboard Northwest 253 from Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport to Detroit, Michigan.  Umar Farouk Abdulmuttallab passed through a security checkpoint which included baggage scanning and a metal detector during his layover in the Netherlands.  The full body scanners have not been used there due to privacy objections; the scanners show security personnel the body contours of passengers.  Authorities in the Netherlands say they will employ new software that only highlights areas of the body where items are stored, such as pockets.  Still, authorities advise all passengers to wear their good underwear for their flight.
