Security Failures in the Run Up to the London Olympics.

Over the past week or so we in the UK have been bombarded with news that the security firm G4S has made a complete mess of the security arrangements for the London Olympics. It has been reported that they have not hired enough staff to cope with the influx of visitors who will attend the various events and also the people they have trained have not been adequately trained. The company have been paid hundreds of millions of pounds and have not delivered the goods. Because of this, eighteen thousand British troops will be deployed to cover for the failed security company. Among other security arrangements, the Helicopter and Commando Carrier HMS Ocean has been berthed on the Thames in the centre of London, also, surface to air missile batteries have also been stationed around the city. Sky news website, today ran a story that says that US TSA staff will be used at Heathrow airport to supplement a shortage of security staff there. I am glad I won't be going anywhere near London in the next few weeks. I would not want any member of the TSA putting their hands down my trousers like they do in the States. There has still been no mention in the lamestream media of the 100,000 foreign troops that have been flown into this country. Numerous alternative news channels have run the story. Admittedly, there is no photographic evidence, but, there is no doubt that all this military might has not been put in place for nothing. Only time will tell.
