Flights-Restrictions

Starting today, Canadians flying to the U.S. can take two carry-on bags and personal items with them on a plane.
Restrictions on carry-ons were imposed after a botched Christmas Day terror attack on a flight to Detroit from Amsterdam.

Those new security measures include full body scanners at airports and a strengthening of explosive trace detection.

Passengers are asked to check with the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (http://www.catsa.gc.ca/) or their airline for items that are allowed in carry-on luggage.
