Federal Transport Minister John Baird said this week the government plans to purchase 44 of the imaging scanners, at a cost of about $250,000 each, and send them to international airports across the country. Twelve of the scanners are set to arrive at airports within the next week, with the remainder of the machines expected by spring.

The machines use electromagnetic waves to scan through clothing and produce images of hidden objects.
