Hi all,

For the first time in a long while I transited twice through YYZ this week. The first was after a connecting flight from YGK going on to ORD. Immigration pre clearance was easy enough, but the security line check (after I had already had security screening in YGK) was abysmal. The line up was long but there were plenty of CASTA agents on duty but they just seemed so painfully slow.

Lots of people were grumbling and the AC agents were having to pull people out of line for priority because of danger of missing flights.

On the way back on Friday afternoon, once again having to go through a second screening process for my flight back to YGK, the line was no more than 6 people long yet it took 30 mins to get through. Have to say there were more CASTA agents standing around doing nothing and the gent operating the screening machine seemed to have no idea what he was doing.

I was asked for my boarding pass as ususal, but then after screening once I had packed everything away, another agent asked to see my BP again. At this point I became rather disgruntled with the whole process or lack thereof.

My questions:

1) Is it always this bad through YYZ?

2) Why can we not have a proper "connecting flights" passage through the airport so secondary screening during transit is not required?
