Two-year-old twins from the UK had their plastic toy swords seized at a French airport, say their parents.   Olivia and Eva Ryan, from Luton, Beds, were waiting with their parents to check in at Charles de Gaulle Airport after a trip to EuroDisney.

  Mr Ryan told the BBC: "When the swords were taken away the children burst into tears.

I liked the article!  Those twins are adorable and I couldn't take anythingt away from them.  It must have been a mistake.

I'd like to hope it was.
