ROME (Reuters) – Italy aims to install full-body scanners at the main airports of Rome and Milan for flights considered at high risk of terrorist attacks, Interior Minister Roberto Maroni said in an interview published on Saturday.

Maroni, speaking after last week's failed plot to bomb a U.S. passenger jet, told Corriere della Sera newspaper that he favored the swift introduction of the scanners, which can see through clothing to spot hidden explosives or weapons.

"We have the resources ready to acquire them but we must overcome the opposition of European privacy agencies," the minister said.

Maroni has convened a meeting with officials Italy's civil aviation authority ENAC on January 7 to find a solution, he said. The Netherlands and Nigeria have already said they will use full-body scanners at airports.
