Diplomat: Britain Ready for London Olympics Security
One hundred days before the start of the Games, a British diplomat in Jamaica declares London Olympics security ready to handle the influx of spectators, global leaders and athletes, an article in The Gleaner reports.
Graham Glover, Britain's deputy high commissioner to Jamaica, made the bold statement even as he conceded that the shadow of terrorism and the prospect of shuttling millions of spectators to and from each event are two of the biggest challenges for organizers. Airlines in particular have voiced strong reservations and concerns about air traffic issues during the two-week event. Budgetary issues have also been a main focus of Olympic planning as security costs continued to rise.
