Unfortunately, this is a kind of non-event happening almost daily at 2F and several times daily at 2E because of unattended luggages left by morons. What is even more shocking, is that in 2E the great majority of unattended bags is a voluntary abandon from pax flying to Africa with tons of luggage and who refuse to pay the excess bag fees and prefer to leave their stuff in the terminal. And of coursé despite being passible of a huge fine, nobody ever get it in France

This time an unidentified person went into the secure area of 2F through one way doors, as the guard meant to prevent it from happening had left his post without informing his hierarchy.
They could not find the intruder so closed and evacuated 2F to make it safe again.
We sat on the tarmac for 2 hours.
Deplaned by bus.
Good point is our luggage was waiting for us.

Isn't one-way doors meant to prevent pax from doing it by being a one-way door? I can't recall seeing anyone 'guarding' those doors in other airports, don't think I ever exited CDG from 2F.

Is it even physically possible to get in through these doors? I thought they were built so that this kind of mess wouldn't be possible.

Maybe I misunderstand which door is referred to.
My understanding is that this is a door that can be used to exit from the secure area and should not be used to enter it. When someone exit the secure area, the doors open and one could squeeze in from the outside. Maybe I am wrong.

That's not how authorized staff enter the secure area in CDG I would hope
