BTW, these were apparently not flights in which take-offs were imminent and they were cancelled at the last minute. These were 6 different flights scheduled for today and tomorrow.

"The flights scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday were called off because of information obtained "in the framework of the French-American fight against terrorism," the French prime minister's office said."

The three other flights were scheduled to leave on Christmas Day -- two from Los Angeles and one from Paris. Air France listed those flight numbers as 68, 69 and 71."
