No Big deal, it happens. Major security breech, no way, you are in a secured area already! You need the financial means to buy a ticket, or have someone buy it for you, you need to be able to get to the airport, or have someone drive you, you need to communicate effectively at the ticket counter to get a boarding pass, or someone can help you. You need to get through security, this is a non help zone. You need to match the gate and flight number on the piece of paper in your hand to the oversized numbers/letters throughout the depature terminal or you can have someone help you. Many checks in place but there is no requirement for any kind of IQ test!

I can see how someone can confuse TORONTO with MONTREAL or QUEBEC CITY as they all have vowels and such, they are all in Canada (yes Montreal and Quebec City are Canadaian) so I can see how someone can make that error!


...I guess when you been flying your entire life its easy and there are many who flying is not a common occurance so it can happen. That last check at the door of the plane is the safety net!
