Carry-on rules relaxed in Canadian airports

New, less stringent airport security regulations have come into effect which may allow for more efficient travel. CATSA is the agency in charge of these regulations. They have eased the restrictions on carry-on items. Passengers are now permitted items like tools and scissors that are no longer than six centimeters. Chuck Strahl is the Canadian transport minister. He says CATSA now wants to focus their efforts on higher level threats, like explosives. Airports also have new screening equipment that differentiates suspicious bags from cleared ones. Dedicated lanes for families or those with special needs are being created to speed up the process.
