No, I don't believe that answer. CATSA was part of the working group. On these key items, such as restraining devices, they filed a dissent. They have had one line: “It doesn't affect aviation security.” Between October 2008 and February 3, 2011, somehow Transport Canada agreed with CATSA, even though their own risk assessment said that metal and plastic handcuffs should not be allowed. What changed Transport Canada's mind? I don't know what changed Transport Canada's mind, but I know that the CATSA position prevailed.
What I am worried by is that in the last column of our chart they have gone further than the Transport Canada prohibited items list and allowed scissors with blunt ends in excess, as you said, of ten centimetres—or longer, without limit. They have gone beyond the prohibited items list on their website.
If that is what they are enforcing, I believe they are not in conformity with the Transport Canada prohibited items list that was announced by the minister on February 3. That needs to be corrected.
