The U.S. Transportation Security Administration announced in June that there would be heightened security for international flights to the U.S. starting this fall. Canadian travellers flying into the United States are subject to new security protocols implemented but airlines aren’t saying much about what the screening procedures entail. Passengers on Porter Airlines flights will have to go through the new security checks once they land in the U.S., as Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport does not offer preclearance. International airlines have been offering differing accounts of how they will implement the new security rules. Singapore Airlines passengers may be required to “undergo enhanced security measures” including inspection of personal electronic devices “as well as security questioning during check-in and boarding,” the carrier said on its website.
