Yeah we did. I am a slow learner :-).
I figured this time with no liquor and Nexus, I would be front of the line (which I was with barely 10-15 people ahead of me) and would clear quickly. Lesson learnt.
In general, YVR security is annoying at all gates. Even at C gates, they will send regular pax to the Nexus lines causing delays for genuine Nexus pax. They also put trainees on the Nexus lines. They also love to swab way too many people. The other annoying place is the International gates at YYZ where they also send everyone into the Nexus line with the only benefit being you skip the main line queue.
Is there a list of flights/cities/countries that qualify for OSS ?
