Canada needs security czar a committee says
A Commons transport committee urges the federal government to move airport and airline security from airlines to a junior cabinet minister overseeing transport security. It calls for a secretary of state for transport security to define the security control structure and culture, saying current security is insufficient and that Sept 11 showed the need for robustness. The panel expects budget plans to create a new airport security agency with passenger user fees helping finance it.
