The article is nonsense. The reporter makes a wild a$$ assertion, then interviews the expert to back it up:

On Monday Schiphol's operational manager Ad Rutten said the explosives carried by the 23-year-old Nigerian Abdulmutallab may well have been detected had he been scanned by one of the airport's 15 body scanners.

Doesn't exactly support the assertion, does it.

Which is why El AL uses multi-layer security. See post # 276
