Seventy Paris airport workers have security passes revoked over extremism fears per The Telegraph

The Telegraph reports http://www.telegraph.co.uk/yL47N on an update to a story I posted last week 
about the number of people on a terrorist watchlist who were working at French airports.

'Suspected radical Islamists identified as authorities try to weed out potential terrorists working at Orly and Charles de Gaulle airports in wake of attacks on French capital

Seventy workers at Paris airports suspected of being radical Islamists have had their security passes revoked since the deadly attacks in the city a month ago.'

That not scary enough? 

Read on...
'Security agents have also examined the contents of around 4,000 workers' lockers at Charles de Gaulle and Orly as the airports authority attempts to weed out any potential terrorists working at the busy transport hubs.

French security sources have said that Islamist militants killed in a police raid in a Paris suburb five days after the November 13 attacks were planning to attack Charles de Gaulle, France's biggest international airport.

The radicalisation of airport personnel sparked concern after the crash in October of a Russian passenger plane in Egypt which Western intelligence officials believe was brought down by a bomb smuggled on board by an airport worker.'

Flying is rapidly becoming an even more dangerous undertaking.
