Canada’s air marshals cost $40 million a year, documents show

OTTAWA — The agency responsible for airline security paid the RCMP $40 million a year to provide armed officers on domestic and international flights as a deterrent to terrorists.

Newly released documents obtained by the Ottawa Citizen show for first time the high costs off the secretive air marshals program put in place after the 9/11 terrorist strikes in the United States.
