Airport Employee Security Checks

By Michael Fitzgibbon

ADVERTISEMENTS
Subject to human rights legislation and obtaining suitable consents, conducting pre-hire criminal background checks is common in Canada. 

However, according to a Globe and Mail article effective immediately, "baggage handlers, caterers and other airport workers will not merely undergo standard criminal background checks through CPIC, the Canadian Police Information Centre, they will face scrutiny under much more obscure databanks, with names like PROS, ACIIS, and SPROS."

The article goes on to note that:

The sweeping scope of the checks means that people who want to work inside secure areas at Canadian airports will be scrutinized for everything from past traffic accidents to links to criminal and terrorist groups. Police can run searches for any warrants outstanding in any of the 187 member countries that form Interpol.

The decision is, of course, fraught with employment and privacy questions.
