Even if there is nothing to laugh about, laugh on credit. Unknown
Not many would find much to laugh about at Pearson Airports increase boarder security processes. They have doubled the staff and it now takes (at least) twice as long to get through the security checks. Reminiscent of the high-tech Cancun airport where you press a button to see if you get a green light (no bag inspection), or red light (be prepared to have all your bags' contents spilled for the world to see), you now step on a plastic mat to see whether the arrow points you left (every bag is inspected), or right (random bag check - much faster FYI). Very clever.
In any case, I was filtered to the left and it took FOREVER to get through the line up. But as these clearly new inspectors did their job,what else can you do but laugh it off. I guess you could bitch and complain (as you hear many doing), but where is that going to get you, except perhaps standing in line even longer. As I chatted and joked with the British bloke in front of me, I think the inspectors appreciated us taking their prodding and invasion of privacy in stride.
So even though I was running a bit tight for time to catch my flight, it put me (and I think those around me) in a better mood by not making a crappy situation worse by turning into a sour puss.
