That doesn't really make sense, will the NYPD start patrolling airports in Europe and flights to the US?

> will the NYPD start patrolling airports in Europe and flights to the US? To my knowledge, the NYPD doesn't patrol outside its borders. The international offices are for coördinating intelligence.

I was surprised to see US border control at Toronto Pearson but I suppose it makes sense to screen passengers on this side given the proximity of Toronto to a US workforce, and it would alleviate US airports to receive Canadian traffic as a pseudo-domestic arrival (I assume this is what happened when I flew YYZ->DFW)

  It's not just Canada, there are several countries in this program: https://www.cbp.gov/travel/preclearance https://www.cbp.gov/travel/preclearance

  They do this in a number of other places that have lots of flights to the US. https://www.cbp.gov/travel/preclearance https://www.cbp.gov/travel/preclearance > Today, CBP has more than 600 officers and agriculture specialists stationed at 15 Preclearance locations in 6 countries: Dublin and Shannon in Ireland; Aruba; Bermuda; Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates; Nassau in the Bahamas; and Calgary, Toronto, Edmonton, Halifax, Montreal, Ottawa, Vancouver, Victoria, and Winnipeg in Canada.

    Not just the US. UK passport control going from France to England by ferry is on the French side of the channel.

      And vice versa. The French Border Police are quite different in attitude to the UK Border Force.

  the other reason is that if canadian traffic can come into the US as domestic pre-cleared, then travelers are free to transfer within the US much more easily. this makes things much easier for places that do not have direct connections to Canadian airports. (in the US, even if transiting to another country you are required to clear US customs.)

  It allows Canadian flights to go to (US) domestic airports, including those without active customs.
