"Larocque added this technology is different from scanners being used in airports in the United States, where they use a type of scanner that is not permitted under federal regulations in Canada."

I'd like to know why the Canadians banned the BKSX and the US allows them. Health concerns? Might make a basis for a good lawsuit if Canada has evidence that TSA is ignoring.
