Sabrina Maddeaux: The indefensible Liberal plan to search your phone on a whim

 

This week, Toronto’s Pearson International Airport went viral for all the wrong reasons when former NHL player Ryan Whitney described it as “the worst place on Earth.” Many recent travellers would agree. It appears the airport is running a not-so-limited promotion where all fares include a tour through the nine circles of hell.

But if you think hours-long security and customs delays, passengers held on planes for hours without food or water, staffing shortages and cascading flight cancellations are bad now, just wait until border agents can search through your phone and laptop based on nothing more than “reasonable general concern.”
