As has been
reported in
various places, a man was arrested at YVR with three bear paws in his carry-on luggage, apparently on his way to China.
Not to condone the smuggling of animal parts, but this bit intrigued me:
He was detained by the Canada Border Service Agency, which called the RCMP.
... border service staff would have been alerted to the bear paws when the man's carry-on luggage went through the X-ray screening machine.
How is CBSA connected with security screening at YVR?
Is this one of those cases where "if it is not a threat to aviation security, let it go" should apply?
