Thanks. So, in Canada, two levels of "security," one for flights to U.S., one for all others.

As for flights to U.S., is it any different from flights from or within U.S.? Is there an additional "security" check, or is it a substituted one?

It's remarkable that one country is able to require all airlines/airports with flights to that country, to change the way they treat certain of their customers.
