Place to wait at CDG T1
I'll be arriving @ 7:05am next week from a TG flight. The person picking me up won't be there until 10am. Is there any recommended place at the arrival hall for me to sit down and surf the wifi on my laptop? I know it's only 15 minutes of free browsing. Or will it be better to go up to the departure level and wait there? If so which area/restaurant do you recommend waiting at the departure level?
I know this may sound stupid, but is pickpocketing an issue at the landside areas of the terminal like it is in the city and metro? If so I'll refrain from using my laptop landside as to rather watch my belongings more closely as I wait.

If you've got that much time, might it make sense to consider heading into the city (or wherever you're going) yourself? You would certainly be safe taking one of the AirFrance buses (you don't have to arrive or depart on AirFrance). Or take one of the RER express trains to Gare Nord. This assumes your destination is Paris; if elsewhere, let people know and I'm sure you'll get some excellent advice here. But unfortunately I have no advice for where to wait at CDG. My first priority has always been to get away from it (CDG) as quickly as possible. :-)
