In Canada we use different machines which are based on 'millimeter wave' technology; apparently something more along the line of an ultrasound. In the states they use backscatter x-ray scanners which carry a more substantial radiation amount.
So they are supposed to be safe in Canada, and I have never had an inappropriate touch in Canada. Some of them can be stupid knobs, but lots of them are decent and even helpful and friendly.
