I had this kind of image in mind, strangely - a sort of enormous "skyhook" that swoops down and lifts all French nationals up, up and away; perhaps with a big sign - something like "Francois Hollande says non non".
Or maybe this concept is based on the mountain rescue services that charge a person who gets into difficulty and has to be removed from some difficult-to-access location.
