The EU has introduced a new legislation that gives airports the permission to install and use security scanners in any and all airports. You know, those machines that virtually strip you down before you fly?
They are already in use in a number of European and UK airports and they certainly have been getting a lot of talk since they were introduced. The European Commission has proposed to regulate their use just a few days ago which should come into force by the beginning of December, just in time for holiday travel to pick up.
