A former U.S. special forces soldier, trained to speak Arabic, said he's seen veiled Muslim women laughing at and deriding airport security personnel after refusing to lift their veils.
The soldier was one of several who have shared their stories via e-mail or by telephone of two-tier treatment at Canadian airports.
QMI Agency has reported that while Transport Canada rules required that each person must be checked immediately before boarding, airport employees say it often does not happen.
