Post Paris airport starts using full-body scanner
(02-22) 10:03 PST PARIS, France (AP) --France has started using a full-body security scanner for U.S.-bound passengers at Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport.

The decision to try out the scanner for three months was prompted by security concerns after a man allegedly tried to ignite explosives hidden in his underwear on a Detroit-bound flight Dec. 25.

The scanner helps detect forbidden objects hidden under clothes.

Reactions varied among passengers who volunteered for the scan after the machine was installed Monday.
