Maybe I'll phone and ask. It would be interesting to know if they are still on the lookout. The transit cop did take down a detailed description of me. If nothing else, I'd like to know what I was wearing that day.
Customs has a targeting unit that seems to love running all the names on flights from vacation destinations. It is a crappy end to a vacation when the Customs Officer comes to you and puts you in a cell for a few hours while they wait for the police to come with their portable debit machine. Then you "pay or stay".

My advice to you is pay before travel (just go to a CPS station and ask them to check your name because you might have forgot to pay a transit ticket a while back but aren't sure)! If there is no warrant, your golden. If there is, you pay there. Then travel with your receipt because CPIC is not updated instantly and the old warrant may stay on there for a while).
