That's the same flight no. under suspicion before.
Apparently the French did it twice: they questioned and released Richard Reid, so he could get on the next flight and try to blow it up and now they questioned and released the terrorists on Christmas eve and let them loose, so they can try again.

Thanks Karl, it's threads like this that make Free Republic so much better than any other news source . . . none of the networks bothered to tell us we are actually shadowing these flights . . . this is excellent "on the ground" citizen reporting . . .

french Army to Market "Ultimate Surrender" Video Game
![](http://www.brokennewz.com/images/frenchscreenshot.jpg)
Paris - Inspired by the commercial success of the United States Armys "Boot Camp" video game, the General Staff of the french Army has announced plans to market "Ultimate Surrender," a video game based upon the proud military traditions of the Gauls.
In the game we follow the exploits of Lucky Pierre, an apprentice garlic salesman from Marseilles, as he joins the french Army and begins a rigorous course of combat training.
The First Level of the game is called "Survival School," and the players have to help Lucky Pierre survive 24 hours without red wine or crème brulé.
The Second Level is "Capitulation," and the goal here is to see which player can have Lucky Pierre surrender the fastest without firing a shot or getting his uniform dirty.
Level Three is "Collaboration." Here the players battle to see who can collect the largest numbers of pairs of nylon stockings and packages of chocolates by having Lucky Pierre perform sexual favors for members of the occupying forces.
Level Four is "Be Ungrateful to America for Rescuing Your Sorry french Ass Once Again." In this extremely challenging part of the game contestants vie with one another to see who can make Lucky Pierre behave in the surliest manner when the United States inevitably comes to the rescue of the defeated french.
The Final Level is "Pretending to Have Been in the Resistance." Here contestants compete in a battle of tall tales and whoppers as they try to protect Lucky Pierre from treason charges.
Marketing tests show that "Ultimate Surrender" is a big hit with french teenagers and young adults who are too young to have experienced frances lightening surrender to the Germans in 1940 or its defeat by the Vietnamese in 1954 at Dien Bien Phu. "Zees is a great tool to inspire ze patriotism in ze youths, nest ce pas?" said General Jean-Jacques Loseur, Commander-in-Chief of the french Army, during his weekly press conference. "Since ze end of ze Cold War we french have not had many opportunities to surrender or to show great cowardice in the face of much weaker opponents."
When questioned about comments made in the french Chamber of Deputies that "Ultimate Surrender" makes the french Army look like a bunch of gutless mamas boys, General Loseur pulled out a white handkerchief, put his hands over his head and said, "Oh heck, I give up."

Out of curiosity....
Those direct flights usually come in from the north-east, taking a course that leads them roughly over Denver, Vegas, then in.
So.... why would they be hanging out west of LAX and refueling at sea, unless maybe their primary focus is Mexicana?

France, Mexico Put Armed Guards in Flight Undercover Even Before U.S. Directive
http://www.phxnews.com/fullstory.php?article=8403 PARIS Dec. 30 Members of France's elite intervention squad are already riding undercover on some trans-Atlantic flights, while a continent away, Mexican security agents also began boarding planes before a new U.S. directive to foil foreign terrorists.
===
If this is a "high risk" flight, as it was expected to be, one would think they do have armed marshall's on the flight. So then, why scramble the fighters, unless the terrorist is the pilot and the marshalls can't break through the cockpit door. There were several articles about AQ actually being foreign commercial airline pilots for foreign airlines.
