Does the Canadian Govt not inform security at major airports of their initiatives?
Interested in hearing from other on this.
Greetings Tom -- that is kinda the whole point of this thread.
The Federal Government has said airports are allowed to implement OSS, but waiving the magic regulatory wand does not make it so. Some airports will require major construction projects to enable OSS (new PAX routes through the airport for example), other airports will have relatively less to do, but the project is massive: signage, communications plan, staffing, security, revisions to operational and contingency plans, etc., etc.
