Canada draws up no-fly list

Ottawa, ON, Sep. 3 (UPI) -- Canada is compiling a "no-fly list" to keep potential terrorists off domestic flights, the Toronto Globe and Mail reported Friday.

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service will compile the list, which Transport Canada has assured the airline industry will be small.

The move follows implementation of the new Public Safety Act, which requires airlines to provide the government with information about people whom the Transport minister believes may pose an "immediate threat."

The Air Transport Association of Canada has numerous concerns about the list.

A spokesman said he was concerned for the safety of airline employees who would be forced to stop a potential terrorist from boarding a flight, the financial liability of carriers and their employees if a passenger is misidentified and the length of time it would take to screen a person whose name appears on the list.
