Europe Doesn't Want Invasion of Body Scanners
To borrow a phrase from counter-terrorist parlance, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's alleged plot to bring down a Detroit-bound airliner on Christmas Day was a "game changer."
As a reluctance to introduce body scanners at airports eases, two countries deploying them nationwide this month include Britain, reportedly a key setting for the Nigerian student's radicalization, and the Netherlands, where Mr. Abdulmutallab passed through undetected before boarding a flight to the United States.
But ardent opposition to them – including in the ranks of Europe's bureaucratic elite – may yet frustrate their international rollout. Beyond campaigners who worry about supposed health risks or view them as the digital equivalent of a strip search, many European aviation-security experts remain unconvinced of the cost benefits.

'Pack for a Purpose' Helps Needy in Africa
Rebecca and Scott Rothney have been making regular trips to Africa for years; travelling from their North Carolina home to visit Kenya, Namibia, South Africa and other wildlife destinations. While touring the region they saw firsthand the needs of the local communities – particularly in the schools and health facilities. After one trip where Rebecca watched the local boys play soccer with a ball of rags tied with string she got the idea to pack some deflated balls to bring along the following year in her baggage.
The impact of leaving just a little extra room in her suitcase to bring some small items was worth its weight in gold for the boys who got real soccer balls. For Rebecca, it was the beginning of an inspiration to launch "Pack for a Purpose." The newly founded non-profit works with travellers to pack needed educational materials and medical supplies for children around the world.

Off the Wagon? Bottoms Up in Mormon County
Utah isn't exactly the first place that comes to mind when seeking a good drink.

Microbreweries are growing and the state just got its first new whisky distillery since 1870.
