EgyptAir 804 Missing

Is it significant that there were 3 "security personnel" onboard, or is that just standard practice for Egypt flights?

That is something I found interesting, but oddly enough, not even the great airplane authority, CNN or its one of a kind experts seemed to be concerned about it. That plane was pretty empty otherwise.
 
From Alexandria:

"The Egyptian military have said they have found debris and passengers' belongings from the crashed EgyptAir flight 290km north of the coastal city of Alexandria. The navy is reportedly sweeping the area for the flight's black box. Egyptian and Greek authorities have previously reported finding debris and then subsequently denied it was from the downed airliner."

From Greece:

"Wreckage of the Egyptair aircraft lost Thursday from radar were detected in the Mediterranean, 290 km north of Alexandria, according to an Egyptian television broadcast.

The TV report said that some personal belongings of passengers have been found, while the Egyptian Navy is combing the area in search of the jet’s black box.

Earlier reports that the plane’s wreckage had been located near a Greek island were incorrect. Authorities said late Thursday that they had not confirmed that any debris from the plane had been found.

Egypt said terrorism was a more likely cause of the disaster than technical failure, but no definitive information was available.

EgyptAir said the Airbus A320, with 66 people on board, disappeared from radar about 2:30 a.m. Cairo time, when it was 11,000 meters above the Mediterranean, and just 16 kilometers inside Egyptian airspace.

In Cairo, Egyptian Aviation Minister Sherif Fathy said France would be responsible for any security lapse if terrorism was found to be the cause of the crash.

Fathy also offered the theory that terrorism loomed larger than mechanical problems as the possible cause of the crash.

“If it is proven that this was an act of sabotage, then we have to know and recognize that this plane originated from France and not from Egypt,” he said."

 
It's the Med, it's filled with the debris of Europe. Hard to tell what's this airplane and what isn't.
