The Netherlands will immediately begin using controversial full-body scanners for all flights headed to the United States.

In a report, the Dutch government said the plot was professional, but amateurish in execution and that the world had escaped a disaster.

Dutch officials say Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, 23, was able to smuggle in explosives on board the Detroit-bound flight, despite going through a security check at the gate after arriving in Amsterdam from Nigeria.

He was also carrying a valid Nigerian passport and U.S. visa.

In the U.S., only 19 airports have the high-tech security scanners.

Critics say they perform a virtual strip search, by revealing the body of the person being screened. But advocates say national security is more important than privacy concerns.

Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport is planning on using two scanners with new software that only highlights areas of the body which has concealed objects.

Officials say 13 more will be upgraded within three weeks.

Abdulmutallab is accused of trying to blow up the plane with explosives he smuggled in his underwear.

An al-Qaida faction in Yemen is claiming responsibility for the attempted attack.

The initial security review ordered by President Barack Obama is due tomorrow.

Senator Charles Schumer says a review of United States airport security is not enough, and that the Obama administration needs to conduct a separate review of security at foreign airports.

"When someone buys a one-way ticket to the United States with cash -- bells should be going off,” Schumer said. “When that person is already on one of our lists of someone who might be dangerous, lots of red flags should pop up. That should happen whether that person boards a plane here in America or boards on plane anywhere else in the world."

Schumer is also calling on the U.S. to penalize any countries that do not comply with U.S. screening standards, and says there should be more Transportation Security Administration representatives at foreign airports to keep watch.
