Look how far they have come? From javelin and discus throwing ..... to now, Surface to Air Missiles!

Yes, the British certainly know how to do things in style. Make things go off with a bang!

What a mistake to let London have the Olympics. :roll:

The Olympics will never be the same again ...

Athens had them too.

In preparation for the August Olympics, Greece has deployed dozens of the American Patriot Advanced Capability 3 (PAC-3) air and missile defense system at three sites around Athens, as well as additional interceptors near the more northern city of Thessaloniki and on the island of Skyros in the Aegean Sea. Lieutenant Colonel Agamemnon Koliakos is quoted as saying that the Patriots form “an anti-missile umbrella formed in the Athens region for the protection of the Olympic Games.” The Patriots will remain on alert until October 5.

Is it time we stopped hosting the Olympics in such high security risk countries?

Extra Police deployed now ...

(Perhaps London will be "safe"; but methinks the rest of the UK is now vulnerable to attacks.)

Agreed!

Alternatively, get the sponsors to pay, all security personal on Ronald McDonald outfits.
