So by preventing people from taking drugs on planes you are preventing terrorism? You do realize some airports have explicit policies on not looking or caring about drugs? Eg https://www.flylax.com/lax-marijuana-policy https://www.flylax.com/lax-marijuana-policy
Also your example is from Canada where there is no TSA yet people don't do similar things on planes, it's not an ideal example.
- Gibbon1 5y agoYeah problem with tasking the TSA with busting people for carrying small amounts of drugs is because drugs are common and weapons are rare, and terrorists even rarer all they'll do then is look for drugs.
- sandworm101 5y ago>>Canada where there is no TSA You really think that Canada doesn't have a TSA? They do. It is even called the CATSA, ie the CAnadian TSA. In fact, to comply pre-screening, CATSA is largely forced to mirror all US TSA rules. Literally the only difference between Canadian and American screening procedures is the colour of the uniforms. https://www.catsa-acsta.gc.ca/en/about-us https://www.catsa-acsta.gc.ca/en/about-us
- gaadd33 5y agoWow, they managed to reproduce the effectiveness of the TSA and lack of oversight in an entirely different legal system? That's impressive... Who do you have to petition to get off of their no fly list?
- sidewndr46 5y agoIt's a common law country (except for Quebec, apparently) with a heritage very similar to the US. Economically & militarily it's perpetually coupled to the US. Canada isn't much different except that central government has a stronger role.
