But that would be a bit too customer-friendly for CDG, so, no, not there. AF would love that, as it would make 2E-2F connections a little less stressful, taking out one of the two possible bottlenecks (there still would be immigration).
I totally agree with you about convenience of such « safe » countries considerations in place in FRA, MUC, ZRH and AMS for the large hubs I know, but we must agree that the original design of 2B/D hence its « core » is quite old compared to these 4 airports…
I consider AF as responsible as ADP, as their main client in terminals 2E/F. Without implementing a central security checkpoint located before immigration at 2E, that would be hard to implement.
