Major airport delays in wake of bomb attempt

U.S.-bound passengers at Toronto's Pearson International Airport were experiencing significant delays Sunday as a result of new security measures implemented following an attempted attack Friday on a flight into Detroit.
...The new security rules for U.S.-bound trips include two hand-screenings of all carry-on baggage, a pat-down of all passengers before they can board a plane and a limit of one carry-on bag per traveller.
Air Canada has also said its passengers must remain in their seats and have no baggage on their laps for the last hour of flights to the U.S.
The heightened scrutiny requires about five to seven minutes for each passenger to get through airport security, which has led to long lineups at Pearson airport. An audio announcement being played in all terminals with U.S. departures cautions travellers about the new rules and expected delays.
Anyone not think we are living in a police state?
