Why are bear canisters required and what exactly are they?

I'm assuming its a safety issue. Safety laws are a waste in my opinion,
like drug laws, seatbelt laws, and helmet laws. If someone needs to be
protected from themselves, it is very importantant that we go out of our
way to not protect them from themselves. I mean with overpopulation,
court costs, etc.
