French authorities have increased security as part of a coordinated public security plan, "Op�ration Vigipirate". These measures include increased police presence in public places as well as on public transport facilities. The law now allows police to search vehicles without warrants. Verification of identification and travel documents at airports has been reinforced, even for domestic flights.

Petty crime against tourists occurs, especially in larger cities such as Paris, Marseille, and Nice. Pickpocketing and bag snatching occur in major tourist areas, and in particular on the Paris metro and RER train line B, which serves Charles de Gaulle Airport, Orly Airport, and Gare du Nord. Thefts have been reported in the car rental parking lot at the Nice airport.

A number of tourists have been approached on the sidewalk, both in broad daylight and at nightime, in the Pigalle district by nightclub operators, enticing them with offers of free food, drink, and entertainment. Once they entered the premises, they were compelled by force and threats to hand over their credit cards, which were then immediately debited for very large sums of money.

Hmm, so France is part of the General Middle East now. That's what I get for missing the nightly news. No wonder Parisians are so anti-American.

My guess is that "manonatrain" is another one of those aliens from the Planet Zog, sent to Terra to confuse earthling EFL teachers. This would explain his shaky grasp of Terran geography and seeming conviction that France is in the Middle East.

An alternative explanation is that he is an earthling who has been driven barking mad by working in the wrong job in the wrong locations.
