I believe the checked baggage is scanned in other ways for explosives, etc. that can be dangerous from a distance. Carry on baggage is checked for those things too, but also for things that can be dangerous in the hands of a person. Observe that it is possible to check a handgun, but not permitted in carry on baggage.
