Citing health concerns, the European Union banned from European airports this week the same kind of X-ray scanners used by TSA in airports across the US. Here’s the EU’s wording:
In order not to risk jeopardising citizens’ health and safety, only security scanners which do not use X-ray technology are added to the list of authorised methods for passenger screening at EU airports.
Imagine that, a government that’s more concerned about the health and safety of its citizens than the lobbyists from the corporations who make the machines. Must be nice.
