Canada Airport Security Tips and Procedure 2007

Every country has its own security procedure for the airport. The Government of Canada recently issue a new airport security procedure called the Passenger Protect Program, are in place at Canadian airports effective June 18, 2007.

Detail Program:

• All passengers 12 years of age or older are required to have one piece of government-issued photo ID or two pieces of government-issued ID without photo.
• All passengers 12 years or older will be screened against a no-fly list, called the Specified Persons List. The list includes the name, date of birth and gender of individuals who may pose an immediate threat to air security.   
• For all flights departing Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal for the U.S., duty free liquids, gels and aerosols must be transferred to checked luggage before a passenger proceeds through the screening process. These airports have pre-clearance services for duty free items.
• For all other Canadian flights bound for the U.S. and the U.K. duty free goods like these may be available depending on the airline but passengers will only receive their purchases at the end of the flight. Travelers are urged to check with airlines in advance.
• For other international flights, the rules can vary. Some airlines will allow duty free liquids, gels and aerosols to be taken on board with carry-on luggage but only if the goods are delivered to passengers after the boarding gate and while getting on the aircraft.

So what do you think about that policy?
