Air Canada temperature checks raise privacy concerns, experts say 'Temperature taking is not effective at all'

There are some choice quotes in that article, firstly from the privacy experts:

Quote:

"If the real reason why they're testing temperatures is to give some false sense of comfort to passengers, well, that's simply not going to pass muster if the privacy commissioner ever investigates."

But the best is saved for last by Leslie Dias UNIFOR union rep who really put her foot in it:

Quote:

"I'm not sure why Canadians' privacy is more important than the privacy of passengers in Europe, Asia and so on," said Dias.

So let's give up our privacy because everybody else is? Wow, words can't begin to describe how myopic and tone deaf this statement is.
