Hopefully without driving us to OMNI-ville, I will say that I find it odd that there is huge outcry about privacy concerns and the ineffectiveness of the scanner and the 'utter failure' of the scanner test just a few miles away from AMS. It is just more proof that there are many different values and beliefs in the odd jumble of countries which make up the EU.
I am also a little concerned about the 'for now' statement in the brochure and hope that AMS does not go the way of the UK with scanners (albeit it scanner use there is proportionally lower than in the US)
