Not only that, they had yet another "security alert" to deal with at YVR yesterday - the YVR-JFK flt. I think - resulting in many more delays. They just cannot seem to win these past few days...not to mention their other ongoing "challenge(s)". Somebody better fix that security issue PDQ, or there will be a major riot next time it happens....this was the 3rd or 4th alert in 2 weeks at transborder security here! Liam.
