I think it's because of equipment/technology differences.  The more 
modern scanners for example, require less intrusive-ness to the 
travelers.  Sometimes a particular airport hasn't gotten funding yet for 
upgrades, or hasn't phased in the new stuff yet.  I think the bigger 
airports generally have more updated equipment.

Certainly true.
