On power trips

It figures that the Cons can't even allow a dangerous idea like the no-fly list exist for so much as a day without looking for a way to make it worse:

The federal government has not ruled out eventually linking Canada's new no-fly list -- which takes effect today -- with technology that identifies travellers by biological features such as eye patterns or even DNA, says Transport Minister Lawrence Cannon...

In an interview with the Citizen, Mr. Cannon said the government "is not excluding" the possibility of linking the list to biometric travel documents.

Needless to say, Cannon wouldn't likely be hinting at the future expansion of the intrusiveness of the no-fly list without some significant intention to follow up. Which means that Canadians can all too likely look forward to even more reckless spending on measures which figure to cause massive problems for innocent travellers, while failing utterly to make anybody safer.
