A Department of Homeland Security official said most of the flights fitting this description originate in Canada, and that U.S. officials have been working with Canada over the past month to ensure it is improving screening and other security measures.

Well, they have a lot of work to do. I recently took a flight out of Vancouver, B.C. to Salt Lake City. As I walked out of customs and into security, they stopped me and searched my 13 year old sister's bag. No big deal, but they also let 2 Middle Eastern-looking males right through. I was thinking, "You screen me, a caucasian male with an English name, but you let Mohammed and Osama over there right through?"
