    Guess it's no longer conspiracy theory to note that passports at Stade meant to be found. https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/665510118998597632 …pic.twitter.com/UeIc5Iydrj

        @emptywheel @thegrugq anyone who's lived in Paris knows that North-Africans/Arabs are id-checked by cops all-the-f*ing-time. No ID->problem

        @emptywheel @thegrugq doesn't apply to the bombers trying to enter a stadium. All needed anyway to move freely up to operation time.

        @JokFP Right. Because they were let in with their Ak-47. Oh wait. No. They were refused entry, even w/ticket! @thegrugq

        @emptywheel @thegrugq no , stadium just had explosive belt from what I read. But you look over informed, so I'll let you speculate

        @opendna I spent the weekend explaining to conservatives that when you're carrying AK-47 in Paris, a passport isn't going to do much good.

        @emptywheel Right. K. Well, I'm kinda curious, but I'm positive I don't really want to know.

        @emptywheel @FearDept That's fine but make damn sure nobody asks any other follow-up questions about WHO planted them and WHY?

        @SodaJerk31 Not necessarily PLANTED. Just left to sow panic (and possibly to implicate Assad). It worked. @FearDept

        @emptywheel @FearDept :-) Ok. But the next and BIGGER question is WHO planted it? Because that person(s) KNEW the attack would take place.

        @emptywheel @FearDept You can't just use a "throw-down" fake passport with the guy's picture & info. You would need all that in ADVANCE.

        @emptywheel also not unreasonable to believe they couldn't recruit any actual Syrians for this attack. They've seen enough of war
