@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. -

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

@emptywheel That was in doubt? -
@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@thegrugq So who planted it after the fact? -

@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.
