Innovative packaging solutions

| Take me to the water... | Specialty food stores at Canadian and US airports are having to adjust to the new security restrictions in the wake of the foiled terrorist plot in the UK last month. The restrictions, which were introduced after an apparent plot to use liquid explosives to blow-up US-bound planes was uncovered, are forcing airport businesses that sell local food specialties to find new ways to adapt. Employees at Clearwater seafood company in Bedford, N.S., noticed a drop in sales immediately after the restrictions went into place.

Walsh said any hopes of reaching full open competition between US and European airlines on the North Atlantic had been dashed by the inability of the US to agree new ownership rules for its own carriers.
