Same here. When I was last at Charles de Gaulle International there was a
trio of security personnel (2 men, 1 woman) with automatic weapons and wearing
the distinctive "lizard" caps. I thought nothing of it, instead felt
reassured. I felt the same when I was approached by a pair of security police
near Gare du Nord who asked to see my passport. It's a concession you make for
being in an orderly society, and protesting is a very bad idea.
