Sorry folks, she forgot something, I'll rewrite it for you :
It's certainly NOT just Air Canada. I don't remember for
certain, but I think it has ALWAYS been standard airline
practice with overseas travelers, even BEFORE 9/11.
Certainly you have to show your passport at check-in (and
would not be allowed to board without one). It just speeds
up the process if they ALREADY have the number in their
records.
NOW THINKING ABOUT IT? HOW RUDE AND DISREGARDING THAT DIVATHING CAN BE?
