EU: European Parliament: Body Scanners: MEPs back body scanners but want strict safeguards (Press release, pdf) and Draft Report (pdf):

"MEPs on the Transport Committee agreed Tuesday that the use of body scanners in EU airports would enhance security but said it should be voluntary. They approved a report by Spanish Christian Democrat Luis de Grandes Pascual that backs the use of body scanners so long as they don't interfere with passenger privacy or pose health risks. The report should be voted in the plenary on 23 June."
