| | How big is this list of alleged terrorists? Is it anything like the American "terrorist" watch list that covers a substantial chunk of the population? If, for example, 3% of the population is on such a list, and a plane with several hundred passengers crashes, then statistically it is highly probable (possibly nearing inevitability -- haven't crunched the numbers) that, out of random chance, 1 or more people on that list would also be on the crashed plane.
In fact, with the 3% figure and several hundred passengers on the plane, only having 2 of those alleged terrorists on the plane would mean that the plane had an unusually SMALL number of what the government suspects might be terrorists on the plane.
There are a LOT of Muslims in France, and a big proportion of them hold ugly views about the superiority of Islam, and the use of violence to spread it.
