Absolutely. Can you believe those people worked in a secure area of CDG, some of them who have visited training camp in Afghanistan??? (I quote the BBC News article).

But the craziest bit is this one:
"However, about a dozen other workers who have been identified as security risks still have access to sensitive areas of the airport because under French law they must be allowed an opportunity to respond to the charges before they are suspended."

I've always hated those stupid french laws for the so-called "protection of the worker", but this is going way to far. They're telling there are people who ARE dangerous, KNOWN threats, but they have to let them work because if they don't, they'll piss off the unions? Wow! I hope I'm not the only one who's angry here.

The UK goes through (unnecessary) hell to forbid water on airplanes, but the french let dangerous ppl work in secure areas!

2 PSs here: 1, I'm french. 2, the fact that those people are muslim has nothing to do with why they're being fired.
