Quentin Fillon Maillet can count himself lucky.
If the Olympic champion lands at home, the security at Paris airport already knows what a medal looks like.
That has advantages.
One would think that these x-ray devices and the specialists crouching behind them could distinguish a silver medal from a bomb.
Not even close.
That's why the French are lucky that their compatriots were able to practice on Katharina Althaus.
The decorated German ski jumper was frisked in Paris on her way back from Beijing that she missed her connecting flight and her medal box was damaged.

which is not there.
Like a bus that is supposed to drop off passengers after a tour at the terminal, which they could have walked into long ago.
No bridge, no stairs, no bus.
Then just a flight of stairs at the back.
The all-for-this-moment premium customer sits in front.
He can leave the Lufthansa Airbus after just twenty minutes.
Fraport is looking for hundreds of employees, they say.
Hopefully air traffic will not pick up again before then.
