My guess is they're just paying some visits, rather than actually taking them into custody.

Just relistening to the section where they talk to immigration minister Chris Alexander, he talks about the Combating Terrorism Act. Right now it only is enforceable for acts outside the country, and that in the coming weeks new legislation was going to be put in place to ensure information about people leaving and returning the country was available to law enforcement agents, and to investigate inside Canada to prosecute terror suspects. This was on October 10th, he also was saying many of these people at this time just had the "potential" to have their passports revoked, and the fact that there is only a general threat and not an imminent threat affects the enforcement.
I guess this attack dials it up to imminent threat for a lot larger portion of this group of 80-100 people.
