Is this article referring to the crashed plane from yesterday in Toronto????

4 August 2005
PARIS ARRESTS
TWO men, one posing as a pilot, were held at Charles de Gaulle airport an hour before the doomed plane took off, it was revealed.

One of them - said to have a "Middle Eastern appearance" - asked about flights at an Air France desk dressed as one of its staff and carrying a fake airport identity badge.

His accomplice tried to drive him away but the pair, aged 35-40, were arrested.

Detectives yesterday searched the men's flat in Paris while they remained in custody.

...dressed as one of its staff and carrying a fake airport identity badge.

You asked my opinion of this article - quoting the Carpenters: "It's only just begun...." Hoping everyone everywhere is checking ID's more scrupulously than required - comparing badges to other identifying paperwork would be good - especially if the other paperwork is state issued (and not something that could be done on a home computer by avowed jihadis). Sharp eyes and attention to detail need to be pounded into the brains of those whose job it is to verify that information. One slip-up could cost human lives and media finger-pointing to create infamy that would not be pleasant for the duration of their employment or life.

THANKS Velveeta for the plane articles.

As to the ItsHappening guy, does he read FR-TM?
