http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/181_1141489,00050001.htm Missing uniforms revive 9/11 fears in Canada Gurmukh Singh Vancouver, December 7 The 9/11 has cast its shadow over Canada as hundreds of uniforms, including badges, worn by screeners at 89 airports across Canada have gone missing, setting alarm bells ringing over air travel safety in North America. Numbering 1,127, the uniforms and badges have been stolen or gone missing over a period of nine months. Canadian and American aviation authorities fear the uniforms and badges might be used by terrorists to gain entry into airports and hijack planes. Hundreds of planes fly into the US every day from Canadian destinations. Transport minister Jean Lapierre sought a report from the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA), which looks after security at the nation's airports, on Saturday. The minister was booed in Parliament when he tried to assure the House that all possible steps were being taken to check the misuse of the uniforms. Airports had been alerted and the private firms conducting screening at airports asked to double-check the ID of all employees.
