The uproar in the US may have dampened their enthusiasm. So they may be (or not??) a bit more cautious than when this was first planned.
Not to get overly OMNI, but I too am a little hopeful that Teflon Angie received a dent in her armour with the election results from yesterday.

May common sense continue to prevail around the world, and may we not see the spread of the scanners....
