While this situation involved an Air Canada passenger as it really had nothing to do with the airline beyond that the thread has been relocated to the Canada forum for further discussion.

This guy is incredibly patient. If it had been me, I'd have lost it at the airport.
At the end of the day, blame whoever drafted the regulation for not including the weasel words "wherever practical" - it prevents this kind of idiotic "work to rule" behaviour.
CATSA's apology letter was well written and appeared sincere.

The big issue is CATSA is outsourced, at least at YYZ. There is no accountability chain nor hiring standard in basic communication skill in Canada's official languages.

He could have dropped trou, no?
"Am I good to go ladies?"
Just what is the law in canada about indecent exposure? To either elicit a sexual response, offend the person observing.... or to gratify the person doing so? A voluntary strip would be legal.

Not sure of the level of temper tantrum, but when I deal with imbeciles, I take a deep breath and think "yes, despite all this, I don't want to be banned from flying."
