Nope, these days, just load some explosives into a bag and walk into a large crowd. No matter how much security the Russians have at the games, all it'll take is one guy to load a couple pounds of TNT or some other explosive into a bag and go strolling along with the rest of the crowd and it's mass injuries and mass chaos.
I heard this second hand so it may not be correct, but supposedly the Olympic security does not carry guns, only batons. It would not shock me to see a repeat of the 1972 Olympics.


I was going to add stories of issues in the first post, but thought that would keep me busy all day. Every time I look at an online news site, there are more stories/pictures of issues.
