72 Employees Suspected of Terrorist Ties at Main Paris Airport

An antiterror investigation has resulted in 72 employees of Paris' main Charles de Gaulle airport losing their security clearances. Unsurprisingly, all but two of the potential terrorists are Muslims.

Of course not all Muslims lost their clearance, or there would hardly be anyone left to work at the airport, which draws on the surrounding heavily Arab northern suburbs for employees. The ones who lost their clearance were suspected by France's antiterrorism coordination unit Uclat of having links with radical Islam and/or having attended terrorist training camps. Most worked as aircraft cleaners or baggage handlers — ideal positions for someone wanting to plant a bomb on a flight. One was a friend of Richard Reid, aka the Shoe Bomber.

Trade unions are threatening to go on strike, claiming religious discrimination. If moonbattery had been this advanced during WWII, German spies could have claimed they were being discriminated against for being Nazis, and then sued to be allowed to continue their spying.
