In any case, the dual scans aren't doing very well. As I said before, CATSA is SLOW
Most of my flying is out of YYZ T1, but I can attest to the slowness of the staff. OTOH, there are more lanes open TB than at the typical airport in the US, so the time to clear security may be the same.

Have to agree again, that the CATSA folks are a little order, and more polite. I usually greet everyone I interact with by saying 'hello', CATSA folks always respond back and usually with a smile, NOT TSA!
