CBC News: Canadian air security jeopardized: senator
This one is just plain embarassing:
"Documents obtained by CBC News show that 1,127 uniform items belonging to Canadian airport screeners were lost or stolen in a nine-month period." The report goes on to quote Peter St. John, a U. of Manitoba terrorism expoert,
"If you have a uniform and you have the right credentials then you've got access to do anything you want in the airport," says St. John. "You can almost board a plane at will and hijack it or anything. Security is just poor." ¶ 3:34 p.m.
