You read it here first—French airport workers are meeting to today to discuss a strike in response to the pulling of security clearances necessary to work in Charles de Gaulle airport from workers alleged to have links to groups with "potentially terrorist aims." More on the fine line between pro-active policing and prosecuting thought crime in this must-read from the October Atlantic, in case you missed it.
