Doesn't address the question of pulling the bags if you don't get on the plane because of pre-clearance failure.
I am wondering if this will end up causing more delays.
they have a system exactly like yvr and yul
your bags get checked in
they then go into a bullpen where they are held
when you clear cbp they're taken from the bullpen and sent to the makeup unit (where the rampie puts your bag in the cart/container)
if you do not clear and they want to search they're pulled from the bullpen and sent to cbp
it's not like you're dealing with the canadian government or something, it's pretty straightforward and streamlined. and cbp isn't like those cbsa goofs, it's not like they search every 1/4 people.
