I had no problem with the website once Stifle helpfully pointed it out. I had just been assuming incorrectly that CDG followed the EU security regulations like everyone else:

http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/...01:0055:EN:PDF

The trouble they gave me after I inquired into what rules they were following seems retaliatory, since it isn't covered by regulations on either site. But at least I got to keep my medication and narrowly made my flight.

My previous flight from CDG was subject to much less scrutiny, but that was for an AF flight within the EU. Anyone know which flights the stricter standards are aimed at? Is it anything out of the EU? Foreign carriers? Flights specifically to the US?
