...of course, the recent attack on GLA has only served to exacerbate the jumpiness. If the French are low key and casual, it's possibly because they can afford to be. We have actually been targeted, so absolutely do need to honour the threat.
At the same time, I've seen airport staff identify a possible suspect package and how they reacted initially (they found the owner who had left it sitting there, alone
) - to actually go to the point of clearing out the terminal means there would have been concerns about it.
