ROME, June 14 (Reuters) - Italy plans to gradually introduce body scanners this year in all public places considered at risk from terrorism, starting with railway stations, Interior Minister Roberto Maroni said on Monday.
Body scanners have been in use on an experimental basis in three Italian airports since March, but concerns have been raised over possible violations of privacy.
Maroni told reporters at Italy’s foreign press association that the machines were being modified to make the images of passengers "completely unrecognisable".
"As soon as the experimentation is over, I think by the end of July, we’ll take a decision and we will install them progressively in all the airports and all places where attacks are possible, first of all in train stations," Maroni said.
