The government has announced several sites in the East End of London where Surface to Air missiles will be stationed during the Olympics. There will also be a squad of specially trained snipers that will be able to shoot the pilot of a plane that looks like it is a risk.
This is the stuff that they are telling us about, so the question is, What are they not telling us?
Thinking about it, the most likely threat will probably come from someone with a bomb-vest making their way to a sensitive area on the Olympic site. This will probably come from the volunteers and employees used during the Olympics. You can be sure that these people will have security checks, and there will be 'spooks' listening in to things to try and foil terrorist attempts. The problem is that we are not told of their successes until the danger has well and truly passed. This is usually because revealing details will place people's lives at risk.
If security is tighter during the Olympics and people may have to queue a little longer, then I hope that they realise that this is part of the attempt to keep them safe. I, for one, will not be anywhere near London during the Olympics, as I do not have a ticket, but I do wish everybody who does go 'health and safety'.
