This is no different than what happens now. The "uneducated airline clerk" needs to look at passport and visia of the person checking in and determine if they meet the transit requirements of the airports they will transit and the entry requirements of their final destination.

The Canadian rules are simple in comparison to the German rules that they will need to understand. The German testing requirement depend on country of departure and the state in Germany the person is going to.
