It's good that security is taken so seriously by the Brits, but it's sad, very sad that after 9/11 it is the only choice that we have...
The Olympics meant to be a worldwide sports event to unite people, a pity some fanatics don't see that, but luckily the majority of the world still feels that way :!:
grtz. Attila the Hun.

It is also a pity that a high proportion of these fanatics in Britain(read the enemy within) are housed and fed at the expense of the very taxpayers they seek to harm with their terrorist attacks and when arrested take advantage of every legal loophole to evade their just punishments.

These people are the reason why spotting is much more difficult in many countries,not the least the United Kingdom and the United States.

Split the topic.

All views and opinions, even the extremely obvious ones, go here.
