What I really wish is that the security could get aligned so that we would not have to go through security a second time. Then the internal transfer might make sense. Especially for those with no checked bags.
Security at YVR, in general, is also stupid and inneficient like a donkey with diarrhea. Transborder security at YVR of course, takes the cake since the stupid and inneficient NEXUS security line of 5 people is slower than the pleb line of 30 people.

Then the fact that as a NEXUS holder you still have to talk to INS officials at Primary and answer any set of questions they ask, rendering most of your NEXUS membership quasi useless. The special side line to do the NEXUS machines isn't that much faster than going into the pleb line since you still have to talk to someone.

YVR sucks. Well, ok... it's kind of homely and warm. Has nice $20 bill (from the Journey Series) statues. But other than that it sucks. Now I like YYZ better.
