Airport Boss Snared By No-Fly List In U.S.

"I was able to travel that day. But every time I flew I had to go through the same process," said Baker, president of the London airport. It took Baker four months of paperwork to convince U.S. authorities he wasn't the Steven James Baker on the U.S. Homeland Security list. During those four months, because Air Canada uses the same list for all flights, Baker faced the irony of having his name pop up on his own airport's security system on his way to Ottawa for a meeting of the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority. Baker smiles at the memory and said he supports the new Canadian rules "so far." "I think it is another layer of security," he said. But no one knows how many Canadians are on the list, he said. "That's the issue for us. If there are a lot on the list, I can see the potential for many incidents." http://lfpress.ca/newsstand/News/Local/2007/06/19/pf-4271850.html
