So when was this sniffer tech installed and used on domestic flights? What is it detecting? Why didn't these guys show their ISEE ticket or WorkSafe BC ticket or what have you for provincial certification?
You cant just show your blasting ticket and get a free pass on a 747 if the detectors go off,same with the laptops,they swab for explosives and drugs and they have dogs.
Nunavut is in the territories and you need a seperate blasting ticket for there,Alberta or B.C. isnt recognized.They usually fly a mine inspector into camp from Yellowknife to give the blasters their test before they can do anything.
I also worked at a prison this spring building some roads around the medium security at Grande Cache and inside the wire and they had sniffers and a swab machine there that we had to go through every day to get our security pass.
