Oct. 30 - An update on steps being taken by Toronto Airport after a missile threat to an El Al flight forced it to divert from Toronto to Montreal and then Hamilton:

Security officials have since provided more air space between flights as El Al jets approach the airport, police said.

Police are also conducting background checks of flights originating from smaller Toronto airports when El Al is in the air to prevent in-air missile attacks. And teams of officers are also cruising highways around Pearson as the flights descend searching for signs of a missile launcher.
