Woman wants apology after laptop destroyed in Regina airport security detention
REGINA — A Saskatchewan woman says she was humiliated and wants an apology for being detained at the Regina International Airport and having her laptop destroyed.
Tracey Britton was heading to Peru on Monday for her father’s wedding when her laptop drew the attention of security screeners.
“Apparently, what I found out through the day, was that my laptop had been scanned as a suspicious item and that it shut down the airport basically,” Britton said in an interview Tuesday.
The bomb squad was called, passengers were moved out of the security area and planes were grounded.
