the google translation of it for non-dutch speakers:


City considers street nude scans
Mayor Van der Laan considering nude scans to the street.

The police is investigating the possibility of mobile X-ray body scans to work. The scan piles, which can look beyond clothes, would be a good complement to preventive searches.

Not everyone is happy with the idea. For example D66. "Preventive search is already a drastic means: you are stopped, selected and searched from head to toe. A mobile body scanner with radiation through clothing can look really several steps too far. The police do not know everything of Amsterdam, "says Jan Paternotte, leader of the party.

I have been "searched for prevention of crime" by a wolf pack of policeman against my will twice, one I was with the bike, my daughter on the bike seat and the groceries hanging on the bike (Yes I have a beard, and I am mediterranean). A dutch lady standing nearby was quite scandalized. I kept repeating "NO, I don't want to be touched" and the policeman said "ho, don't worry I'll be fast".
