German police have described radiation-firing full body scanners as “useless”, following a 10-month trial, during which time alarm was unnecessarily raised far too frequently.
That equates to an alarm being set off without reason in roughly seven out of every ten cases.
The federal authorities have no interest in carrying out more tests with the machines at this time.
Despite these findings, the Department of Homeland Security in the US plans to roll out hundreds more of the machines into airports across the country.
