That is easy. These new ones are very big. Check out:

http://www.l-3com.com/products_and_services/emerging_commercial_products/index.cfm?section=airport_security_systems

and

http://www.invision-tech.com/products/

In most cases you won't see them (SF is one of a few exceptions) as
they are only used for check-in laguage. They also are too expensive
(approx. $400k - $1M) and too heavy (in some cases need reinforcement
of floors) to use for check-in lugage.
The scanners from L-3 distroy the film more then from InVision. The
scanners from the two companies work a bit different. Nevertheless,
film is not save in InVison's scanners, either.
