“‘Petitjean had no trouble getting through a police investigation and psychological evaluation” to get the airport job. And no one would have dared try to ascertain whether or not he had jihadi sentiments; that would have been “Islamophobic.”
“ISIS church-attacker worked at a French airport as a baggage handler three months before priest murder and got through police checks ‘easily’ to secure the job,” by Peter Allen, MailOnline, July 29, 2016:
A French ISIS fanatic who ended up murdering a Catholic priest got through a police investigation to become an airport baggage handler ‘easily’, it emerged today.
Abdelmalik Petitjean and Adel Kermiche, both 19, were both on terrorist watchlists when they slit Father Jacques Hamel’s throat in Normandy on Tuesday.
Now it has emerged that Petitjean worked full time at Chambery airport, which is used by more than 250,000 passengers a year including many from Britain, until just three months ago….
Meanwhile, a Syrian refugee staying at a French centre for asylum seekers was this morning taken in for questioning in connection with a deadly jihadist attack on a church, a source revealed.
The arrest, which took place in central France yesteday [sic], raises to three the number of people currently being held as part of the investigation into Tuesday’s murder.
Last night it emerged that Petitjean started as a porter at Chambery Airport in December after completing his Baccalaureate at the Marlioz high school in nearby Aix-les-Bains, where he lived.
There have been numerous security scares at French airports over the years, and all employers are now meant to undergo stringent tests.
‘Petitjean had no trouble getting through a police investigation and psychological evaluation,’ said a source close to the ongoing investigation into his crimes.
‘He was considered to be a hardworking, friendly young man who did not pose any danger to passengers or others using the airport. He got through the police investigation easily. ’
Petitjean left the airport in April, and in June was caught by Turkish intelligence services as he tried to get into the Isis caliphate in Syria.
Last Friday there was a warning that Petitjean was back in France and ready to strike, but by this time it was too late for police in his homeland to catch him before he milled [sic] Father Jacques….

seems like airport jobs are the defacto employment for muzzies WTF MAN !!!
mortimer says
So easy for him to sneak a bomb onto a plane.
mortimer says
Muslims in jobs with the public should take monthly lie-detector tests to determine if they are planning a jihad.
Moses says
They might as well put them in high national security positions.I MEAN WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG!!! Yet again I’m not ruling this one out at all with the current crop of leaders we have.
linnte says
The director of Homeland Security here in the USA is Jeh Johnson, a Muslim!! Obama has Muslim advisors from CAIR, and we have a few Senators who are Muslims. I know there are more. We are doomed if Trump is not elected!
Christopher H says
Sad but true! Hillary And her VP are so in bed with the Muslims it’s straight out of a conspiracy theory film series! Hold onto your hats,be vigilant, it’s only a matter of time!
linnte says
Yes! Give me Freddy Kruger ANYDAY! At least he is honest about being evil! Hahahahahaa!
Pete says
Unreal.

linnte says
And Jeh Johnson gives a typical Muslim “ignoring the answer” with I don’t know. AND HE IS THE DIRECTOR!!! Why wasn’t he brought before the Congress for neglect?
efoc says
Wonder how many are employed as actual pilots. That would be interesting to know.
DJ says
I had a chuckle last week when 2 Airtransat pilots were arrested and removed from the plane in Glasgow for suspected intoxication. One of them was called Imran Sayeed.Who’s a naughty boy!

Yes only religion can turn a nice friendly young man into a ruthless killer.
Certain jobs like baggage handlers should be off limits to Muslims in the present emergency.
I have met some nice devout young muslim men who were studying Agricultural Chemistry for good or evil reasons we don’t know but I never once heard them condemn All Quaida or Daesch.
We could even unknowingly be training them kill innocents in the West !
This is why we must put all Muslims under suspicion and not allow them in
Why should we take the risk.Obama said Hillary will defeat Daesch without banning whole religions.Why didn’t he then after two terms!!!

“Yes only religion can turn a nice friendly young man into a ruthless killer.”
Yes, and the religion of ATHEISM is particularly good at turning them into ruthless killers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The “only religion” which does that is islam, so Dom’s attempt at moral equivalence is an epic fail.
Angemon says
How many others like him are there? People who are not foreigners, never underwent extensive periods in muslim-majority countries or were “radicalized” online – you know, the usual day-after red flags – but nonetheless will end up killing non-muslims for the sake of islam? This is not a problem that started with the islamic state – the islamic state may be the spark that causes the fire or that catalyst that speeds it up, but it’s neither the combustible not the comburent.

Angemon says: “….How many others like him are there?…”
Hundreds, more likely thousands.
You know, in that context, I love it when they roll out the parents/friends/etc. “…he/she was alway so nice/friendly … We are surprised… We would have never though that he/she was going to build a bomb and… et cetra est.”
One ought to ask those gladiators of the pen and political spokes persons/leaders if there ever was a bomb builder/shooter/throat cutter who wasn’t nice – until they did it.
By the same token, practically all of these guys could win a “niceness-award” – except from their victims.
Peter says
Since he had a job, he must have become a rabid dog of Islam because of global warming. Kerry take note of yet one more consequence of turning off air conditioners!
overman says
They look so innocent, don’t they – but, then, so do most Psychopaths.
Savvy Kafir says
It’s simply impossible to vet Muslims. There’s no way of knowing which one is going to suddenly begin taking his religion more seriously, and take up the centuries-long business of killing infidels.
dumbledoresarmy says
Yes.
Right now, every Infidel land that has admitted and is still admitting large numbers of Mohammedans is basically “playing Muslim roulette”. Will they or won’t they Go Jihad on us… and how soon?.. and kill how many? All we know for certain is that *some certainly will*… and if not this or that individual, then quite probably their children or grandchildren. And that the more of them we have, the more aggressive they will be and the more assassins will rise up out of the Ummah, to wage war on its behalf.
Got Muslims? – Got Jihad. Got more Muslims? – got *more* jihad. Fewer Muslims? – less jihad. NO Muslims inside the gates and none next door? – NO Jihad.
That is the simple observable fact that needs to be dinned into the heads of every Infidel voter and every Infidel politician and religious leader and journalist.. everywhere.
underbed cat says
If we could change back time….and have required every politician and military general to understand why this religion is dangerous and “the centuries-long business of killing infidels” as Savvy Kafir says:…we would much safer today, but the west turned to the gentle appearing faces with a hard heart who knew their craft and mission.
Ravi Ranjan Singh says
Moral of the story is ‘Zero Tolerance’ don’t let the wolf come near
dumbledoresarmy says
I seem to recall that in Australia, a Muslim man who was arrested for taking part in a jihad plot (a plot that was fortunately detected a-hatching, and foiled by the arrest of the participants) was working, or had worked, as a baggage handler for QANTAS (our main Aussie airline).
I also recall that, some years ago, there was a Muslim in the UK who worked in IT at a major British airport. He, too, ended up being arrested as a participant in a Jihad plot.
desidude2 says
Many people in the western world assume that criminals and killers are a different group from “normal” law abiding people. That’s how we look at criminals and killers. In the muslim world there are no such distinctions when it come to muslims who want to kill for allah. Most likely these people are educated, intelligence, and often have or are capable of having good jobs. They often make a good living. Jihad however is something that the Quran encourages and rewards. it is open to all muslim regardless of education and social status. So how are we going to know who has turned jihadist? The only group of muslim we know for sure not engaging in Jihad are the Ahmadiyya muslims and the non muslim Baha’i faith. The rest? Russian roulette anyone?
