I've heard but don't understand this "Charter" argument (not that any of this mess makes sense). No Canadian has a "right" to enter the U.S. The U.S. is free to determine who they let in to their country. IF US CBP at preclearance requests extra security screening of anybody (whatever the discriminating reason), why should that be a problem with CATSA?
