Canada has joined the U.S. in scrutinizing Thermoses and similar containers that airline passengers want to carry onto planes.
The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority announced on its website that passengers must remove insulated beverage containers from carry-ons and place them in a bin for inspection.
U.S. officials have also issued an alert about the containers.
Adm. James Winnefeld, head of the U.S. Northern Command, told The Associated Press on Friday that the Transportation Security Administration is "always trying to think ahead."
Winnefeld said officials responsible for homeland security are always a bit more alert over the holiday season. He says there has been a lot of chatter online about potential terror activity, but nothing specific.
