OK, they made a mistake, but I'd rather that our national security erred on the side of protecting us, than on the side of not offending anybody. In a world where letting the wrong people through can cost lives, I think that we should be safe, not sorry. The methods used are hamstrung by political correctness, the employees are rent-a-cops, and there are too many activists who want to hold things up just for publicity's sake. We are all far too impatient and critical. But we need to remember what's at stake and act accordingly.

In this case, considering the reports coming out about lax policies in Canada toward allowing immigrants with records of terrorism to claim refugee status in their fine country, Canadians should get used to it.
