If I read the Air France schedule right, AF382 doesn't stop over in Cincy and then proceed to LAX. It stops in Cincy and the passengers transfer to a Boeing 767-300, flying as Air France 8760 but actually operated by Delta (Delta and Air France codeshare flights). AF8760 goes from Cincy to LAX. I guess AF382 (an Airbus A340) turns back around at some point and heads back to de Gaulle.

So, assuming there would be some sort of 9/11-style attack, if they made their move after the connection, it would be on a fully-fueled B767-300, but not the big A340 that flew over from France.

And they'd be checked passengers, huh? No screening to get through.
