So yeah, Take Your Kid to Work Day was yesterday. I went to my mom’s work on Wednesday. My mom works with the CBSA office down town in the intelligence division. I think.

Anyway, she thought that her little office building was boring, so instead, she sent me to the airport. And what’s at the airport? CBSA, or Canadian Border Services Agency. Basically, a bunch of officers showed us around the airport. We saw how the xray machines worked, and we saw two detector dogs. One of them, a small beagle was trained to find marijuana, and another one, a Labrador, was trained to find money of at least 5000 in someone’s luggage, or more precisely, ink. We were also shown how a “secondary inspection” would go down. Basically, when someone flies into the airport, the first people to greet them is the PIL, the primary inspection line. This line of people would basically question passengers entering Canada about their trip. What did the passenger do there, how long were they there, things like that. This is so they know that they are legitimate people who really were on a vacation, and they aren’t trying to smuggle something into Canada or whatnot. Only takes less than a minute, and if they seem legit, they’re sent on their way. If they seem nervous, they would go to secondary inspection where they would get a closer look at the passenger.
