After the failed attack on flight 253 landing in Detroit, the Dutch decided to use body scanners to scan all passengers leaving for the US. Besides the body scanners that were already tested, the Dutch authorities orders 20 extra high tech scanners.
The background reportage program Rundschau from Swiss public TV wants to see how these new body scanners work in practice, find out if the radiation is dangerous in any way and if privacy is well protected.
A specialist and a spokesperson from the Amsterdam airport Schiphol explain and show how the new scanning machine works and terrorism expert Edwin Bakker gives his views about possible new terror attacks and about airport and airplane safety. He emphasises that the anti-terror measures work pretty well, since the attack on flight 253 failed.
For this reportage Featurez did the research, set-up and planning, booked a camera crew, did the direction and interviews and organised and accompanied the satellite feed.
