Hoping it's a false alarm.

A buddy of mine is a pilot for a major airline and returned from France today. He said he's never seen such tight security. Once they arrived at Newark, they were greeted by a SWAT team in the immigration area. The armed SWAT guys demanded to see everyone's passport in a business like manner. Luggage was pulled off the plane for a recheck, and the three Air Marshalls were very jumpy.

Interesting that terrorists would be trying to gain access to the US through france... (capitalization not required when discussing the french).

The US was trying to keep it a secret, so we could catch the baddies. But apparently someone, in France?, leaked it to the media and the flights were cancelled. Not likely we caught them. They Frenched us again?

Thats the story I got off talk radio... how accurate is it?
