It does?

Well, that is nice in theory, but it isn't happening in the field.

I think that in order to test your theory, you would have to build a
number of these canisters and send them out to areas known to be full of
bears, and see if any bears actually get into the canisters. Oh, wait,
that is already happening. And the Garcia canister is approved for use
in the areas in question because bears cannot get into them.
