French goof - place explosives on plane - still missing

Duh, I think I may have made a mistake.

police at Charles de Gaulle Airport slipped some plastic explosives into a random passenger's bag as part of an exercise for sniffer dogs, it is still missing

And this incident pales in comparison to Bush not supplying the funds to check cargo containers from overseas!

Well please define the topic more clearly. Is the topic lax security at international ports of entry or is the topic about taking shots at the French.

If the topic is lax security at international ports, I think Shanes post was on topic, while at the same time taking a shot at Bush.

If the topic is about incompetentance, well.....

I'll bet you that bag will be flying for a long time (collecting frequent flyer miles) and scanned many times before they fine it, especially if its all local French flights.

Or maybe you'll see a rise in Arab types flying around France hoping they find it before the French do.

Was it a French Poodle dog sniffer?

Their bomb sniffing dogs were busy smelling each others butts.................

Well its clear the French have finally made the leap from loving terrorists and being anti-American, to actually becoming terrorists by planting explosives on airplanes the public fly on................Funny, these are exactly the people I would expect to do something this stupid.
