Airline security?


Video taken at Montreal's Pierre-Elliott Trudeau airport of a group of Muslim passengers boarding an Air Canada flight to London's Heathrow airport on July 11.

The video, shot by a British traveller, shows a man boarding a flight with four women, two with face veils, two without.

The man hands over all the passports and the veiled women are allowed to board without showing their faces to confirm their faces match those on their passports. This despite Canadian law which states that airlines must be able to verify the identity of all passengers before they board a flight and have procedures in place to check anyone whose face is covered - regardless of a person's religion.


Thanks to the Daily Mail for the spot.
