We go to France every year for many weeks and always make several excursions into neighbouring countries. Usually we'll just get a wave on, sometimes a peek into the car, but this time they obviously wanted to check.
I've no problem with that.
Not insinuating anything (I don't work for French customs or border police ). Just stating that, although Switzerland has signed the bi-lateral agreement implementing the Schengen provisions, there is a deadline for implementing it and it should be sometime in 2008, unless I am mistaken. Hopefully, it will come soon, although I will miss the dual immigration check in GVA airport and the immigration check at Geneva Cornavin railway station.

As to my personal experience, I have never been stopped at the border crossing near GVA airport, and every single time when crossing from France into Switzerland using the A411.
