[CQ-Contest] Destroyed equipment in France

[Bruce Lee]

This is not appropriate.

I have been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to visit Paris with 
my wife and have nothing but respect for the French people.  Several times 
when we looked lost, people went out of the way to make sure we received 
directions in English.  Don't kid yourself, what happened to both the radio 
equipment and at the airport with the explosives training could happen 
anywhere.
