Well if Canada and Brazil are doing it, then we in the USA better all start doing it, right?

I think one of the reasons it is allowed in the US is because the US is one of the few countries where a very high percentage of flights are intra-country and not international, which requires more security. Plus land space is usually more available in the US.

At some airports like LHR for instance, the lack of space and the high # of international flights would make non-passengers going through security checkpoints less desireable.
