Sorry for all the pressure, your job is not an easy one and will only become even more controversial in the future. I take your word on having seen it yourself, just don't mention seeing it on a tv show in the future. I've seen porn where women like being choked, cuz it makes sex better, pretty sure they are actually having sex in reality too(reality porn??), it doesn't give the argument a statistical basis for implementing the process of searching people's phones. If I was a woman and my fiance demanded proof that I'm a virgin before marrying me, whereby the only method of verification is literally pulling down my panties and spreading my vag, does the need for verification really validate the request of a vag spreading? I apologize for the vulgar parallels and for pushing you. I just think that voices need to be heard more often in public places and forums that steer people's eyes and attention to fact sources. Public displays like this one in the article are dangerous and disconnected from reason when the audience isn't first made aware of an issue worth sacrificing their privacy for.

Many facets of Canadian law are based on the honor system, where my word is taken as oath and recognized as true simply because I say it. When I make these claims throughout life, my cell phone isn't searched for incriminating evidence. Sure, other methods of verification can happen in the background or after the fact, but my word is still recognized as true. If I was a traveler returning to my home country and I encountered this process at the border, the double standard would indeed cause a spark and depending how my day went it is possible for me or anyone else like me have a run in with border control quite similar to this. What I am trying to say is, maybe its not just this situation, maybe it is all the recent Canadian events I've been reading about combined, I'm just really starting to get the feeling that we are headed in a direction nobody can justify, not even the people steering the boat. Catching the people that are having a bad day doesn't sound like much of an accomplishment to me.
