Canadian airlines flying through U.S. airspace will have to hand over the personal data of everyone aboard the plane if a U.S.-proposed program comes into effect — even if the destination is not in the States.

ATAC policy vice-president Fred Gaspar told the CBC that the proposal — if enacted — could go as far as having U.S. planes intercept and ground a Canadian airliner.

'Let's say … that they don't like the person in 12C. They could then scramble fighter aircraft; they could force us to land.'
