The Netherlands becomes the first country to show Amber alerts on ATMs(1/3)

The Netherlands has become the first country in the world that has expanded its national Amber Alert system to automated teller machines (ATMs). Starting last week, over 300 ATMs from ATM manufacturer In2Retail have begun showing photos of missing children on their screensavers. For now, the Amber Alert-compatible ATMs are only installed in selected locations, such as international airports (in Amsterdam and Rotterdam), some national airports, but also in large shopping malls and near popular tourist attractions. Authorities say they have plans to blanket the entire country and expand the system to the ATMs of other ATM vendors.(Photo/IC)
