Passengers at Canadian airports

Passengers at Canadian airports


Passengers at Canadian airports may soon find themselves under more scrutiny than ever before after the federal government gave the thumbs up to a pilot project to allow the monitoring of passenger behaviour to detect potential terrorists.

Once the program is fully implemented, specially trained officers with the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority will be able to roam airports on the lookout for unusual or suspicious behaviour by passengers.

For the moment, the interim order authorizes a pilot project at Vancouver International Airport at the passenger-screening checkpoint.

The pilot project began in January.

"The effectiveness of the program will be carefully monitored to guide longer-term strategies," Transport Canada spokesman Patrick Charette said.

Similar programs have already been introduced in several other countries, including Israel, the United States,Publique anuncios sobre Audemars gratis. the United Kingdom, Russia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia and Australia.

While the interim order signed by Transport Minister Chuck Strahl says it "is required to deal with an immediate threat to aviation security," the program has been in the works for some time.

In 2009, the government gave CATSA a one-year budget to research and start development of a passenger-behaviour-observation program.american lighting is currently recognized as one of the nation's leading lighting retrofit contractors.

In passenger-behaviour observation, officers are trained to detect irregular or suspicious behaviour.

"The emphasis is behaviour-based, for example — wearing heavy clothes on a hot day or paying unusual attention to the screening process," according to a government background document.

"Screening officers trained in passenger behaviour observation screening may check a passenger's documents and ask simple questions about the passenger's identity and reasons for travelling to alleviate any security concerns."

The program focuses on behaviour, not racial or ethnic profiles, the government is quick to point out.
