Let's view “temporary” in the age of computers. Let's view seven days in the age of computers. We have computer information on the Sabre system in the United States and in the Galileo system with the Department of Justice in the United States. There is information on someone's name. How quickly is it possible to collect all the information attached to the name of a Canadian citizen who is travelling on an overflight of the United States? How quickly, in this modern day of communication and integrated computer systems, can a complete profile on an individual be created?
On December 2nd, 2010. See this statement in context.
