While waiting to get through at the good side, the 5 screeners on the other side were staring at the walls.
I'm not sure if there this through at YYZ, but if they were you must have to show up 4 hours before your flight these days....
Flew out of YWG to ORD on Feb 24th... Got the good arrow, so didnt have to get the full-body massage or photo taken but the entire Westjet crew heading to Phoenix cut in front of me so the "good line" took over 40 minutes to go through.
They weren't searching anyones bags, unless they saw something funny, but the work slowdown of only letting one person through the line at a time, was slow slow slow...
The Westjet pilot laughed uncontrollably when he he apologized for the five of them cutting in front of me, and I replied... "I am just glad you guys don't fly the A380, as I'd be standing here till Tuesday!"
