. . . terror suspects may have escaped due to a premature disclosure in France . . .

Break relations with those effete worms! Or at the very least you'd think we could routinely refuse flights from France -- whether or not we suspect there are terrorists onboard. Perhaps we could begin by forcing France to cancel at least half their flights to the US at random by telling them they wouldn't be allowed to land.

Al Qaeda may lose interest in using Air France if they know half their hijackers are unlikely to get through during any given "operation." Of course, two-thirds would be better than half, and 100% would be sure to work. But then, I don't know if we're prepared to go that far . . . In any event, the point is we don't need French cooperation at all to make al Qaeda give up on this plan of leveraging French perfidy against us.

Doesn't seem necessary. We should have the technology to install a stinky cheese detector next to the metal detector. Just bump anyone who sets that off.

Announce that, effective immediately, flights bound for the US out of France are permitted to only land at Thule Air Base in Greenland. Once there, passengers will be thoroughly screened and the plane fully searched. Suspects detained can then be put on a direct flight to Gitmo.
