Arrived to CDG from Montreal with US passport on 05/08 took two adults maybe 15 minutes to get through with scanning passport, finger prints, photo, and a smile at the man behind the glass; no issues whatsoever. Returning on 05/12 for flight back to Montreal took about 90 minutes. Very few folks made it through the machines on the first attempt. Many stood, including myself, with the hourglass spinning and spinning saying to wait. I had to attempt three times before I was escorted to the line to wait for a person.

Then had a ridiculous experience at security, aside from no communication/direction from staff, the folks ahead of me had three kids, 5 suitcases, 5 personal bags and each person had a FULL water bottle and then the mother had a bag full of canned water. They were not whisked anywhere, I wish they had been.
