We had a really hard time getting through airport security at Charles de Gaulle airport once, and eventually we figured out it was probably because a) Ed has long hair and a beard and b) we were all wearing heavy coats. Well it had been boodly freezing in Britain when we left a week beforehand, and even though it was now a heatwave in France we didn't have enough luggage space to stow them so we opted to wear them instead.
