It also acts as a convenient conduit for Islamic terrorists coming out of France![:(] <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> <br />Dave:[V] <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Right back at you, slick:[V][V] <br /> <br />A few years ago there was a TV news item regarding problems Chunnel authorities were having in stopping illegal immigrants of Arabic background from entering Britian via the Chunnel. Mind you, these illegals weren't hopping trains, they were video recorded running into the Chunnel on foot from the French side. The French *authorities* did nothing to stop these hundreds of illegals from running into the tunnel, rather they simply (and literally) shrugged their shoulders when questioned by the reporter. Apparently, it is unofficial French policy to allow unsecured transit over the border, letting their problem become Britian's problem. Whether it is possible that one or more of these illegals may have been involved in the subway bombings earlier this year, I do not know. What I do know is that such undocumented entry into a Western nation by illegals of Arabic descent does increase the likelyhood of terrorist cells being fostered within that nation. <br /> <br />You've really got to admire the rigid discipline of French law enforcement! (insert sarcastic smilie here)
