That's terrible. It must have been like gathering the family to watch the moon landing and finding out that Neil Armstrong sounds like Pee Wee Herman.

I was thinking along the lines that someone wants to sew so much alarm and confusion that the state will have a pretext to go HAM in the name of restoring civil order, and just enough support to get away with it. Gut-shot tourists are certainly major problems for small business owners in Alsace, precisely the types of people who might be eligible for getting tipped to the other side of the fence from their employees if "this is all going too far".
