I came across this bit of information about security measures easing up and a 'one-stop' security check;

Also on the horizon is one-stop security, meaning that once passengers clear security at one airport, they won't be checked again at a connecting airport. Canadians flying through Europe could be among the first to benefit, if Canada pushes for such procedures under the new Canada-Europe Open Skies agreement, says Georgina Graham, IATA's director of security and facilitation.

Meanwhile, Kelowna International and 10 U.S. airports are testing full-body scanners that show security agents what is under passengers' clothing. Transport Canada will decide in 2009 whether to expand use of the machines to other Canadian airports. They will probably be commonplace at European airports by 2010.


Anyone heard of this? Do you think it actually might happen?

What about the full-body scanners?

That would be nice, but it definitely won't happen if you are going to be stopping in the U.S. at all. No, I don't believe so.

I flew into Kelowna last year (not out of it) so, unfortunately, I didn't get to see these scanners in action, too bad, because it would've been interesting.
