Not to sound alarmist or anything, but there is actually quite a history of terrorist attacks against Paris: - July 25, 1995: Bomb at Paris Metro Station Saint Michel kills 35. - Dec. 26, 1994: The hijackers of an Air France airliner in Marseilles, France, were suspected of intending smashing it against the Eiffel Tower. - September 17, 1986: Bomb explodes in a paper basket in front of the Tati clothes store, rue de Rennes, Paris, kills 7 and injures 51. Various conspiracies have been stopped by the French police in recent years, including a plot to bomb the American Embassy in September 2001. The main consequence for IETF attendees: do not leave your baggage unattended at a Paris airport, in a train station, or generally in a public place. The standard procedure is to blow it preventively... -- Christian Huitema _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
