Airline passengers headed for the United States faced
tighter security measures on Saturday after an attempt to blow up a
U.S. jet bound for Detroit, including pat-downs and an order to stay
seated during the last hour of flight, airlines and security officials
said.
Air Canada advised U.S.-bound travelers to arrive early at airports
to allow extra time for security screenings, including additional
personal searches.
“Passengers should also expect flight delays, cancellations
and missed connections, and limit themselves to a single piece of
carry-on baggage,” Canada’s largest airline said on its
website.
“New rules imposed by the U.S. Transportation Security
Administration also limit on-board activities by customers and crew in
U.S. airspace that may adversely impact on-board service,” Air
Canada said.
