Canadian airport security personnel do not ask veiled Muslims women to lift their veils, show and ID, and prove their identity; the veiled women do not even interact with security personnel: rather, a man traveling with the women typically hands in all the passports and is the only one to communicate with airline staff while the veiled women simply walk through, unchecked and unidentified; a video showing two veiled women walking unchecked through security at Montreal's Trudeau International Airport causes outrage in Canada.
Frequent flyers know the drill well: take off your shoes, surrender your tweezers, and pack your shampoo in those little plastic baggies before lining up for the naked body scanners. How about lifting your niqab? Apparently not.
The Toronto Sun’s Brian Lilley and Bryn Weese write that neither airlines nor security services are asking Muslim women to lift their veils and prove that the face beneath matches their photo ID.
The issue came to light through a video taken by Mick Flynn of Bradford, England. Flynn was boarding a flight at Montreal’s Trudeau International Airport when he witnessed two women with their faces covered board an Air Canada Heathrow-bound flight without being asked to remove their veils.
In fact, in the video that Flynn has posted online, a man traveling with the women hands in all the passports and is the only one to interact with airline staff while two veiled women simply walk through.
“I complained at the desk — and again as I boarded the plane — asking if the pilot was happy that two women boarded without being identified,” Flynn told QMI News Agency. “Both members of staff whom I spoke to were flustered and clearly embarrassed.”...
Lawyer David Harris of INSIGNIS Strategic Research says Canadians should be concerned about what he deems preferential treatment. “Full veiling has been a boon for those participating in criminal and terrorist operations,” Harris said pointing to the story of Mustaf Jama.
Jama, a Somali national with a long criminal record, was wanted in Britain for the 2006 murder of police constable Sharon Beshenivsky. As police closed in to arrest the career criminal, Jama was able to escape back to Somalia by wearing a full veil and boarding a flight at Heathrow airport....

Fingernail polish or bloody fingernails...that is the question!

Those flights should be turned back. US law requires all airlines to indentify people on incoming flights. That doesn’t mean accepting documents from a third party.
Exactly. I don’t know what the TSA is thinking. They are morons. It’s much easier to board and flight elsewhere that is coming TO the U.S. Then tigger the explosives over the U.S.
Coming soon to a nation near you. :)
Get a load of this.
Our future.
Americans quite understandably get the general view of Canadians possibly from a liberal infested media. Up until a few years ago, the dissenting Canadian did not have a chance, unless happening to go one on one with an American who would listen. We have a feisty little blog site which has the statement. "They(media) say what Canadians think"- in all that time they have never asked me.
Please excuse the rant but I must indicate more. During the last presidential election, the two tax payer funded monoliths in television CTV and more so CBC, openly and shamelessly shilled for Barack Obama. This with 80,000 American expats who had the right to vote in that election. An absolute ethical crime, if not downright against the rules.
That time they did not call Americans stupid. Indeed no. As of late, they do not seem to be throwing their underwear at the winning candidate. No, they are concentrating on the Republicans in a dismissive way, 'specially Sarah.
I concede your point, we in Canada are almost paralyzed by political correctness. We are paying a price. The exceptions are out their though, witness Ezra Levant and others.

Fantastic way to lose a war. and it is a religious, psychological, economic and bloody war! Let’s send hams to their mailboxes, they’ll have to move.
I came through Seattle 3 years ago and the answer was no - they are not even searched when they come to the USA
Yup. . if ever I see a muslime nun get on a flight without getting the grope, I’m getting off the jet. . .oh wait. . .there are NO muslime nuns. . . nevermind.
BO & Big Sis have exempted muslim women as well.
Or better yet, EVERYONE refuses to go through the scanner or be humiliated by being sexually assaulted.
And they could very well be men under those veils with explosives strapped to them. Ain`t political correctness grand?
It’s frightening. I’m am so grateful that we don’t have to fly anywhere in the near future, but some people have to fly. They have no choice.
I haven’t heard of nuns getting a pass. Do you have a link?
Indeed.
