That is very far from 'all Canadians' being required to do a scan or the pat down.



Sorry Mimi, I missed your reply so I did an edit. I believe that poster is an infrequent leisure traveller, flying mainly from central Canada to MCO, based on previous posts.

That experience would be different from people flying in Canada to domestic destinations, or to international destinations (other than the US)
I assumed the thread is about the TSA.. and I've stated that Canadians get nude-o-scanned or patted down by the TSA.. and it was always my assumption by the TSA..

I apologize for any confusion..
