US & UK to examine body scanners
The UK's prime minister said today that the UK will work with the US to examine a range of new techniques to enhance airport security systems beyond the traditional measures, such as pat-down searches and sniffer dogs
The prime minister said: "These could include advancing our use of explosive trace technology, full body scanners and advanced x-ray technology.
"Working alongside the U.S. and other partners, we will move things forward quickly.
"But we must also all investigate how this individual flew from Nigeria to Amsterdam and then to Detroit and what more might have been done internationally to stop him.
"In partnership with security agencies abroad, we are doing everything we can to improve the sharing of information about individuals of concern.
"We work very closely with the Americans in this area."
