#4 "For me it's a mistake," a member of the bar staff told AFP by telephone

For me this hit a special note. Historically according to P.J. O'Rourke lazy journalists depend upon bar staff for quotes and info. Lately most journalists have become lazy and the ISIS enemies are unlikely to be visiting bars so the bar staff know nothing.

#5 Update from Ynet:

A French prosecutor says terrorism has been ruled out in the arrest of a man who tried to bring two handguns into a hotel at Disneyland Paris.

The Meaux prosecutor Dominique Laurens said Friday that searches of the man's phone records and various locations turned up no link with terrorism. She said the man was moving house and feared his weapons would be misplaced or taken.

The man was detained Thursday along with his female partner, who was cleared of complicity, the statement said. He remained jailed Friday.

#6 kind of sympathize with the guy if he spent any time in the 'small world' queue

#7 AS far as I am concerned, the presence of a Koran makes him a terrorist. If that is an error, at least err on the side of caution.
