Disturbing: 57 Paris Airport Workers Are On Terror Watch List
Townhall ^ | 11/29/15 | Leah Barkoukis

The Nov. 13 terror attacks in Paris has forced France to examine its security policies, including at the Charles de Gaulle Airport, where it was recently discovered that 57 employees who had access to airplanes and runways were on a terror watch list.

Now, the security passes of 86,000 workers at the Paris airport will be reviewed, according to a report by the Sunday Times of London.

**SNIP**

The recent finding of Arabic graffiti on four planes at two French airports, including one that had "Allahu Akbar" written on a fuel tank hatch, has only increased security concerns. While the graffiti in and of itself is not harmful, it raises serious questions about who has access to restricted airport locations.

The Sunday Times - French panic over Islamists with runway clearance

It emerged yesterday that dozens of workers had their security badges blocked or withdrawn after terror attacks in January, but others continued to work at Charles de Gaulle airport despite appearing in security files.

That’s nothing compared to how many terrorists are working at US airports and government buildings.

Only in Socialist Europe do you find 86,000 workers at an airport.

No wonder Europe is bankrupt.

Wonder how many in US airports as well are under cover jihadis. Everytime I see a woman in a Muslim veil at an airport, buzzers go off inside my head. HOW and Why could she be selected to inspect my passport shows me how INSANE the gubmint is.

“Only in Socialist Europe do you find 86,000 workers at an airport.”

And you will probably find that most of them are towel heads!

check the bowels under SeaTac Airport. I’ll bet there isn’t a single American working in the whole place.

Anyone who has gone through CDG in the last decade has been able to figure this one out on their own.

The really fun part is being searched by them.

I wouldn't know. I haven't been through an airport since 9/11 and don't intend to. If I can't drive there, I don't go there.

At SeaTac there are a whole bunch of old-timers working hard. There are another bunch of newer hires - that are indifferent to hostile in working with passengers.

Most of the new ones are too busy milking the rest break system to be malicious - but for the few others ...

When I re-enter the USA it’s usually at San Francisco.

Almost EVERY time I do that, MOST of the people wearing badges and checking my paperwork at the Customs desks appear to be RECENT arrivals in the USA.

They talk that way, too.

Are we really so much better? I’m not so sure.

Yes. Same here.

At SFO, when the Immigration greeters say “Welcome to the USA!”, I say, “Same to you!” With a cheery smile.

the best part is the Customs officer who can’t pronounce U.S. city names...

Will France finally decide that discriminating against Islamists isn’t a bad thing?

I know a TSA agent at SeaTac who would completely agree with you.
