<p>After spending several hours searching for which airports are using full body scanners and what the rules are, the list below details my results.  The fact is, most airport websites are useless when giving the information.  Schiphol airport has a nice brochure outlining what they&#8217;re doing, but most of the information I found comes from various news sites.  Many EU states appear to be waiting for a concise response from the EU Parliament and then issue a united answer.</p>
<p>It appears that nearly everyone is thinking of or already has installed full body scanners.  The differences is the type of scanner and whether it&#8217;s compulsory or not.  Nearly all countries state that they are only doing this on flights to the United States.</p>
<p>The United States has also installed full body scanners at most of their major airports, though, under US law, everyone is supposed to have the option of a pat down as well.</p>
<p><strong>Australia</strong> – body scanners will be <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/rest-of-world/Australia-to-introduce-body-scanners-after-failed-US-attack/articleshow/5551596.cms" target="_blank">introduced</a> by early 2011<br />
<strong>Belgium</strong> – waiting for EU decision<br />
<strong>Canada</strong> – all airports to get scanners, in <a href="http://www.vancouversun.com/travel/Vancouver+International+Airport+full+body+scanners/2410316/story.html" target="_blank">Vancouver</a>, US bound passengers are to be targeted first, but have the option of a pat down; suspicious domestic or international travelers will be required to have a full body scan <a href="http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/Full-body-scanner-now-at-airport-85006977.html" target="_blank">Winnipeg</a> also offers the option of a pat down<br />
<strong>China</strong> – hasn&#8217;t ruled them out, <a href="http://www2.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2010-01/19/content_9339326.htm" target="_blank">hasn&#8217;t decided</a> whether to use them or not<br />
<strong>France</strong> <a href="http://breakingnews.gaeatimes.com/2010/01/08/paris-charles-de-gaulle-airport-to-experiment-with-body-scanners-on-us-bound-flights-3293/" target="_blank">Charles de Gaulle</a> airport – passengers may request a manual check<br />
<strong>Germany</strong> – summer 2010 will begin <a href="http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/302968,germany-to-test-full-body-scanners-this-summer-at-the-earliest.html" target="_blank">testing</a><br />
<strong>Ireland</strong> – seem to be still <a href="http://www.irishexaminer.com/ireland/kfkfkfaumhkf/rss2/" target="_blank">debating</a> on whether they even want scanners, cost appears to be an issue; nothing noted on the Dublin airport website<br />
<strong>Italy</strong> &#8211; all passengers traveling to the United States would be <a href="http://www.adnkronos.com/AKI/English/Security/?id=3.0.4227633266" target="_blank">scanned</a>.  I could not find if this is mandatory or not.<br />
<strong>Japan</strong> – <a href="http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20100203a3.html" target="_blank">still deciding</a> if they want them<br />
<strong>The Netherlands</strong> – at Schiphol you can choose a <a href="http://www.schiphol.com/Travellers/AtSchiphol/CheckinControl/SecurityChecksUponDeparture/SecurityScan.htm" target="_blank">body scan or pat down</a>. You can download a <a href="http://www.schiphol.com/web/file?uuid=073bd3ea-e022-4beb-9b8e-216306f6a88b&amp;owner=fc5889a9-e049-442a-b208-b416f05e180d" target="_blank">pdf</a> brochure from Schiphol outlining the details<br />
<strong>Nigeria</strong> &#8211; will be installing them; From the tone of the <a href="http://www1.voanews.com/english/news/africa/butty-nigeria-full-body-scanners-31dec09-80387477.html" target="_blank">article</a>, I&#8217;d guess they&#8217;d be compulsory when it happens.<br />
<strong>Russia</strong> – body scanners in use in Moscow since 2007, <a href="http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,5151910,00.html" target="_blank">can request a pat down</a><br />
<strong>South Africa</strong> – <a href="http://www.southafrica.info/news/business/281597.htm" target="_blank">not considering</a> full body scanners at this time<br />
<strong>Spain</strong> – waiting for EU decision<br />
<strong>United Kingdom</strong> – <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/pilots-criticize-security-as-britain-makes-body-scanners-mandatory-1886628.html" target="_blank">all airports mandatory</a> or you do not fly</p>
