It seems that the issue is once again gaining political attention following security lapses which allowed the "underpants bomber". To board a plane with his explosives stuffed into his Y-fronts. 8211; one ...

Actually, that was the whole idea that they would be totally immersed in French for 5–6 weeks. The absence of anybody to indulge them in English ought to speed up the learning process.
