Transport committee  That's right. Air Canada and all travel agents make their reservations through global distribution systems such as Galileo or Sabre. When you access Expedia or other online travel sites, you're getting into that system. Those systems are housed, I'm going to say, in Colorado, bu

Transport committee  I am not a lawyer. I could not make that determination. I would say that--

Transport committee  But they would be getting the same information that they get under this legislation, and it would be done directly rather than indirectly. I think the argument you could make would be that this legislation automates the transfer of the data directly to the U.S., and so removes an

Dr. Mark Salter

Transport committee  First of all, let me thank the committee for this hearing and for my invitation. I will make my presentation in English, but I can answer questions in French. At least, I hope so. I want to make two primary points about the current legislation before this committee. The first

Dr. Mark Salter

Transport committee  Thank you. First of all, the Ogdensburg agreement says to the United States, for example, that Canada will not be a launching place for attacks to the U.S. So there's a very real way in which our security is tied to our neighbour's in the same way. But Israel is subject to much

Transport committee  I think the current threat is absolutely explosives. The 3-D scanners do a better job of isolating where, on the body, electronic devices are hidden, because they all need some kind of electronic trigger system. Now, if Mr. Sela has secret information that says that they can be

Transport committee  Into a cellphone, into a car fob--absolutely.

April 22nd, 2010Committee meeting

Dr. Mark Salter

Transport committee  Yes. I think the question of attention and rotation is interesting. There's a psychologist in Switzerland who argues precisely the opposite, that it takes 20 minutes for one to sort of warm up on the scanners in order to be able to detect things, precisely because it's difficult

Dr. Mark Salter

Transport committee  It could be, but I think the primary reason to do it is because it detects both metal and explosives better than the current system. You will not need fewer people for the sniffer technology than you need now for the body scanners.

Transport committee  No, I do not.

Dr. Mark Salter

Transport committee  Mr. Sela seems to have secret information about the spoofing of these that I don't have. It could be that I'm out of the loop.

Dr. Mark Salter

Transport committee  Oh, sorry; I think you're absolutely right that.... My apologies. Were you finished?

April 22nd, 2010Committee meeting

Dr. Mark Salter

Transport committee  There are three models for the trusted traveller system. The first is the simplifying passenger travel initiative, which is being run by IATA, the International Air Transport Association, which has connected technology companies, airports, and governments to provide essentially a

Transport committee  I think you'll have to ask Mr. Sela about the Israeli procedure.
