Peak Hours: Border Security

High Risk Dept: The Nexus program allows Canadian and American pass holders to pass through special lines when travelling between the two countries by land, air or water, according to CBC. However, some Nexus pass holders say they're waiting longer than those without the card at peak hours and some Nexus pass holders are raising concerns over how long they are being forced to wait in border lineups. It's designed to make border patrol more efficient by allowing guards to move those who aren't considered to be a danger to border security through customs more quickly and focus on travellers who have the potential to be high-risk. As reported in the news.
