If you go through either Charles de Gaulle or Orly Airports in Paris, do *not* ask the gendarmes to inspect your laptop (or film) by hand. Eet all *must* go through the X-ray machines, monsieur. Non? Peut-etre you'd like to spend the next week in la Bastille? I been there (not the Bastille, of course, but the contretemps with the gendarmes).
