Peter Tryon says a security breach during an unexpected stopover at Edmonton International Airport nearly put him and more than 50 other passengers at risk of being arrested for illegally entering Canada. Air Transat is apologizing for the incident, which it describes as an unintentional breach of Canadian customs protocol. A few minutes later, security and police arrived at the gate and confronted the passengers for failing to go through customs. Air Transat said it is working with Edmonton International Airport to ensure a similar breach doesn't happen again.
