When the AF planes land, they are taken to the remote terminal at LAX, and all the passengers and luggage are searched again. Can you imagine seeing F16s and then going through that? haha.
IMO all Air France passengers should be given a full cavity search and a then full DECON (with extra foam). Then their luggage should be given the once-over by NYPD detectives. After collecting their luggage and getting dressed, let them pass through normal security.
