Default Gangs infiltrate Calgary airport

Liberal Senator Colin Kenny, president of the Senate committee on national security and defence and former vice-chair on the senate committee on illegal drugs, told the Sun yesterday there is not sufficient security to keep gangs at bay.

"The police tell us there are 54 active organized crime groups in Alberta and at the airport there are Hells Angels and two Asian groups -- both in Edmonton and Calgary," Kenny said yesterday.

An Air Canada baggage handler who didn't want to be named said police have known, at least for months, about the issue and yet nothing seems to have changed.

He said he first learned criminals had disturbingly easy access to moving everything from knives to drugs by bypassing security checks when someone told him, not in so many words, to mind his own business.

"He told me he would give me $1,500 every two weeks to look the other way," he said.
Amazing that they can get away with this...
