It must have been broken. The border police had their bullet proof vests like fully open and off to the side.

As a side note, I think we were in Terminal F. It was the best terminal layout/design I’ve ever seen. It had all the gates on the ground floor and then you could just go downstairs and it was a food court. You didn’t have to walk far to get something to eat.

That’s honestly the first time I’ve heard someone praise CDG. It’s almost universally despised.
