CATSA started a pilot program two weeks ago on passenger behaviour observation. CATSA's involvement in this program, this pilot project, is limited to the screening checkpoint and the queueing area, so it is not an airport-wide initiative, but rather focused on the screening checkpoint.
The behaviour officers are trained to identify unusual behaviours for that circumstance, and if unusual behaviours are detected passengers are directed to a secondary screening measure. That is the extent of the program to date. CATSA has committed to document all the interventions that occurred during the pilot project and report back to our regulator, who has also committed to reporting back on the program before it is rolled out nationally.
